First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a one-day eye health training session for female community health volunteers in Nepal increases the number of patients visiting local vision centers. 149 volunteers will participate, with some receiving training and referral slips and others not. Researchers will compare patient footfall between the two groups to see if the training makes a difference.
