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.
