Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Glaucoma
• Interventions: Behavioral: Personalized eHealth Education & Motivational Interviewing

• Registration Number: NCT04274764
• Lead Sponsor: University of Michigan

Brief Summary

This is a multiple site, randomized study that will assess the effects of personalized eHealth education and motivational-interviewing-based counseling on patient adherence to physician follow-up appointments.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of personalized eHealth education and motivational-interviewing-based counseling on adherence to glaucoma follow-up care compared to standard education delivered by a trained staff member. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either standard education and care navigation or eHealth education, counseling and care navigation. The outcome measure of the participant seeing an Ophthalmologist for follow up care within 3 months was increased to 6 months. This modification was made due to ophthalmology visit appointments not being available within the 3-month timeframe.

This study is embedded in a CDC-funded program to engage people from medically underserved areas in glaucoma screening. Participants who screened positive for glaucoma or suspected glaucoma were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the standard education and care navigation arm or the eHealth education, counseling, and care navigation arm.
