Trust in the Provider and Glaucoma-Related Blindness
Figure 1
Subjects’ score on the Trust in Physician Scale, an 11-item self-administered questionnaire measuring patients’ trust in the provider (scaled 0–100 with 100 indicating greatest trust) is plotted on the y-axis. (a) For subjects self-reporting white race, the TPS scores were similar for subjects with glaucoma-related blindness in one or both eyes (, TPS score ) versus subjects without glaucoma-related blindness in either eye (, TPS score ; ). (b) For subjects self-reporting nonwhite race (all but one if which identified as African American), TPS scores were significantly lower for subjects with glaucoma-related blindness in one or both eyes (, TPS score ) versus subjects without glaucoma-related blindness (, TPS score , ).
