ASAA Activities
The ASAA provides information on sleep apnea to the public and answers questions about diagnosis and treatment options. The ASAA works with other non-profit organizations and societies of health-care professionals to reach the undiagnosed. In addition, the ASAA serves as an advocate for people with sleep apnea and assists them in living with this disorder and its repercussions.
The ASAA publishes bulletins, newsletters, and position statements on various subjects related to the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea. These publications provide medical, social, and legal information relevant to those with sleep apnea. The ASAA encourages screening for those that may have sleep apnea by providing general information on the condition as well as a self-diagnostic test.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
