  • "Aim 1: Conduct combined blood pressure (BP) and glaucoma screenings, and subsequent referrals, among adults age 40+ living in NYC affordable housing developments over 4 years."
  • "The primary clinical effectiveness outcome measure for Aim 2 is detection of undiagnosed and/or uncontrolled HTN and/or glaucoma/suspect confirmed by in-office appointment(s) and will be measured by rates of newly diagnosed and/or uncontrolled cases of HTN and/or glaucoma/suspect in the office over 1 year."
  • "Hypothesis: Participants referred and randomized to the Virtual Automated Navigator Intervention with Health Education Arm will show higher rates of adherence to in-office appointments over 1 year compared to those receiving Usual Care, who will only receive the initial appointment."

About this study

Dr. Lisa A. Hark (PI and Study Chair) and an interdisciplinary team have designed "Know Your Pressures NYC" to conduct blood pressure (BP)/glaucoma screenings in adults age 40+ to identify undiagnosed and/or uncontrolled hypertension and/or glaucoma/suspect. For the purpose of this study, individuals will be identified as glaucoma suspects if they have elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) or have features of glaucoma optic neuropathy, as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus/optic nerve photographs, as interpreted by the masked Reading Center.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
