Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Standard of care; Participants randomized to this arm will have the usual follow up care without any additional information.	Behavioral: Standard of care; participants will receive education from staff nurses as needed.
Active Comparator: Additional Education; This arm will receive a weekly text message or e-mail asking participants to sign on to the web page that we will provide. Once they sign on, they will see additional educational materials and questions regarding their CPAP use. Based on their response, they will be directed to suggestion or sites to help improve their compliance with their CPAP.	Behavioral: additional educational material; The internet-based intervention group would receive a weekly text or an email (based on the subject's preference). The content of the message asks about their approximate compliance over the past week. Based on their response, they will be directed to one of two internet web pages.
