Do you or a friend or family member have COPD and OSA?
Hello Friend of the ASAA,
We know we have asked before - but do you OR a friend or family member have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?
If you answered ‘yes’ to the question above, we need your help!
The COPD Foundation and American Sleep Apnea Association have launched a successful study to help patients make better use of their therapies, overcome barriers and achieve their health and quality of life goals. This study is proving free education and peer coaching to individuals living with both COPD and OSA, who require the use of CPAP therapy at night. Individuals who also use oxygen with their CPAP therapy at night are also encouraged to sign up. If you have ever been diagnosed with COPD and OSA, join the O2VERLAP Study and reserve your seat in our virtual classroom today. If you have a friend or family member that has both COPD and OSA, please forward this email to them to sign up using the link below.
The initial study results are very encouraging. Many study participants have benefitted from the coaching and education offered as part of this program.
Our enrollment period ends in April - this is your last chance to sign up.

Study participation in the O2VERLAP Study is mostly online and is completely voluntary. There is no cost to registering and compensation up to $75 may be provided.

DBSA Well beyond Blue initiative: Meeting & Survey
Depression is often part of the journey for Sleep Apnea patients, adding even more challenges to a difficult path. The ASAA is partnering with the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance to help FDA and life science companies understand what’s most important to every person living with depression. Be part of this joint effort by responding to the “Supporting Wellness” survey.
Since going live on August 1, 2018 the survey has received over 4,500 responses to this first-ever peer designed survey that enables respondents to share views on wellness as well as, identify research priorities.
Please register to attend the DBSA-led Patient-Focused Medical Product Development Meeting on November 16, 2018. Our collective voices are needed in-person at this meeting which will be held near the FDA campus in Silver Spring, MD. This meeting will empower people living with depression and/or bipolar to share their personal views on aspects of wellness and name the wellness strategies that work best for them. For those who live farther out, they can participate via live stream.
Please register to attend either in person - or online here.
