Summary

This trial looks into if more resources can help people get eye care to prevent blindness and glaucoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is specifically for Black or African American individuals who have already taken part in the screening exam phase of the study. It aims to see if extra support and education can encourage them to regularly visit eye care professionals, potentially preventing blindness due to glaucoma.
What is being tested?
The ComBaT Glaucoma intervention is being tested to determine whether providing additional resources and education can improve a person's likelihood of seeking regular eye care services, which could help prevent vision loss from glaucoma.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on behavioral intervention through education rather than medication, there are no direct medical side effects. However, participants may experience changes in their healthcare routines.
