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.
