Needs Assessment

The International Journal of Sleep and Wakefulness – Primary Care, a CME-accredited educational program, systematically identifies, evaluates, and places into clinical context the most important recent studies into the science and medicine of disorders of sleep and wake for the primary care physician. It provides rapid access for busy specialists to a critical and clinically relevant review of the developments that will have most impact on their day-to-day practice and is designed to provide management options for clinicians to allow them to better diagnose and treat patients with sleep and wakefulness disorders.

Each issue of The International Journal of Sleep and Wakefulness – Primary Care will present carefully constructed leading (review) articles, written by practicing sleep specialists and primary care physicians, and intended to equip readers with practical knowledge of the area under discussion. These articles are commissioned to support particular educational themes identified by the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editor, Editorial team, and readers. This issue of The International Journal of Sleep and Wakefulness – Primary Care presents three such leading articles.
