About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether text message reminders or reminders from health workers help people visit the eye hospital after an eye screening, compared with no reminders. It is for people in the Village Integrated Eye Worker II (VIEW II) study who were sent to the eye hospital after screening. The study checks whether they visit the hospital within 21 days.

The goal of this randomized, parallel-group, controlled trial is to compare methods of improving linkage-to-care for participants in the Village Integrated Eye Worker II (VIEW II) trial who are referred to the eye hospital following eye disease screening. Participants who are referred to the hospital at an eye screening visit will be randomized to three different linkage-to-care interventions: (1) text message reminders, (2) reminders from health workers, or (3) no intervention. The primary outcome of the trial will be whether or not the participant presented to the eye hospital for a referral visit by 21 days following screening.

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