Brief summary
The study will evaluate whether videos can improve understanding of diabetic eye disease, and follow-up rates in the eye clinic.
Detailed description
Health literacy is a prevalent issue at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, particularly at the eye clinic where understanding of diagnoses and treatment plans largely affect vision outcomes. This study will determine whether video-based explanations, created in both English and Spanish, of diabetic retinopathy can improve knowledge concordance and follow up rates among patients in the eye clinic. Knowledge concordance and patient satisfaction will be assessed through digital surveys in Qualtrics.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Knowledge Concordance Assessed through Validated Questionarres | 12 months | Validated questionnaires in Qualtrics consisting of multiple choice questions and scales from 0 through 10 will be used to assess knowledge concordance before and after the patient's appointment. The change in concordance will be determined for each patient. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Follow Up Adherence, Assessed through Electronic Record Review | 12 months | The number of scheduled follow-up appointments versus the number of attended follow-up appointments will be compared for each patient through electronic record review. |
| Diabetic Retinopathy Progression, Assessed through Electronic Health Record Review | 12 months | Electronic health records and ocular imaging will be reviewed to determine whether patients' diabetic retinopathy has progressed or improved. The numbers of patients with mild, moderate, severe, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy will be compared between groups at the end of the study period. |
