Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition that is usually treated by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, but poor adherence is common and is associated with worse patient outcomes and experiences. Patient satisfaction is increasingly adopted as a quality indicator by healthcare systems.
Objective: We tested the hypothesis that peer-driven intervention effected through interactive voice-response(PDI-IVR) system leads to better patient satisfaction (primary outcome), care-coordination, and CPAP adherence when compared to active-control.
Optimal Instruments for Measurement of Dietary Intake, Physical Activity, and Sleep Among Adults in Population-Based Studies: Report of a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Workshop.

Article Synopsis
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute held a virtual workshop in September 2022 to explore effective methods for measuring diet, physical activity, and sleep, identifying research gaps and future directions.
- Key discussions highlighted the integration of self-reported data from questionnaires with device-based assessments like wearables and biomarkers to improve chronic disease understanding.
- The workshop emphasized the need for data harmonization and standardization to enhance analysis through AI and machine learning, ultimately aiming to improve accuracy and comparability of lifestyle behavior studies.
Fruit and vegetable intake (FVI), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and sleep duration are each independently associated with cancer-related and general health outcomes among cancer survivors. Past research suggests that health behaviors cluster among cancer survivors, with caregivers demonstrating similar patterns. This analysis examined co-occurrence of FVI, MVPA, and sleep duration among cancer survivors and informal cancer caregivers and identified sociodemographic and clinical correlates of health behavior engagement.
