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.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Personalized eHealth Education & Motivational Interviewing	This intervention uses a web-based application to generate personalized education materials for patients based on their eye health screening results and barriers to follow up care. A glaucoma counselor trained in brief, glaucoma-specific motivational interviewing (MI) uses the individualized content generated from this web-based application to form the basis of her conversation with the patient to coach the patient to engage in follow-up care.
