SSVS Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Sleep VSExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients check-in for their primary care physician visit and are provided a Sleep VS survey packet. Investigators or research associates will review the Sleep VS, and patients that screen positive on their Sleep VS will be asked to complete an extended set of sleep questions. A triaging algorithm will be available based on answers to the extended sleep questions to assist the primary care physician with assessment and triaging care. Patients that screen "negative" will not be asked the extended sleep questions nor will they be brought to the attention of the primary care physician and proceed with "usual care."
Group II: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
Patients check-in for their primary care physician visit and proceed with "usual care". Although the sleep vital sign will not be collected, the medical providers can still use the extended sleep questionnaire and triaging algorithm, if in the course of caring of the patient a potential sleep disorder is recognized.
