Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Usual Care
Consented subjects living in buildings randomized to Usual Care arm who failed the screening and needed vision correction were given an eyeglasses prescription and a list of optical shops within 1 mile from their home. These subjects who are referred to an ophthalmologist for a follow-up eye exam were only scheduled for their initial appointment at either Columbia Ophthalmology or Harlem Hospital. They did not receive enhanced support. Scheduling this initial appointment allowed tracking of adherence.
Usual Care
Usual Care subjects who failed the screening and needed vision correction were given an eyeglasses prescription and a list of optical shops within 1 mile from their home. These subjects did not receive enhanced support. Scheduling this initial appointment will allow tracking of adherence.
Enhanced Intervention
Consented subjects living in buildings randomized to the Patient Navigator Intervention arm who failed the screening and needed vision correction received free eyeglasses, which were fitted by an optician at the housing building. If they were referred to an ophthalmologist for a follow-up eye exam, they received enhanced support with patient navigators to assist with follow-up eye exams at Columbia Ophthalmology or Harlem Hospital, specifically eye exam appointment scheduling and arranging transportation over a 1-year period.
Enhanced Intervention Using Patient Navigators
Enhanced support by patient navigators assisted with follow-up eye exam appointment scheduling and arranging transportation over a 1-year period.
