Sleep Heart Health Study Phase I

This project was funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institutes (NHLBI), a division of National Institutes of Health, Missouri Breaks Industries Research Inc. (MBIRI) subcontracted with the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center. Two hundred home polysomnography (PSG) studies were performed during the period of 1995-1996. In spite of one of the harshest winters on record in the Dakotas, the MBIRI staff led all the centers in completion of their studies. Staff on the study included two RN’s, two recruiters, one data entry clerk, and one student with 5 of the 6 staff members being tribal members.
