\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nAs a first task in this research, ATRI is surveying commercial drivers on their perspectives, personal experiences, and knowledge of sleep apnea.\u00a0 The survey, which was pre-tested with professional truck drivers, also solicits information on sleep apnea assessments and treatments that drivers may have received, as well as the perceived effectiveness of those treatments.\u00a0 All commercial drivers, even if they have no personal experience with sleep apnea diagnoses, are encouraged to participate in this confidential survey.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first large-scale data collection effort that seeks to find out what professional drivers know about sleep apnea and for those who have been through a sleep test, to better understand what the impacts, especially costs, of testing and treatment are on drivers.\u00a0 I strongly encourage my fellow drivers to take a few minutes to complete ATRI\u2019s confidential online survey.\u201d said Bob Stanton, a professional driver diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2002 and Co-Coordinator of Truckers for a Cause, a patient support groups for drivers with sleep apnea.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe costs associated with sleep apnea screening is a big concern for our members.\u00a0 ATRI\u2019s survey is an opportunity to expand the existing data on this very critical issue,\u201d said Tom Weakley, Director of Operations for the OOIDA Foundation and a member of ATRI\u2019s Research Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n
