Individual and School-Level Factors Associated with Pediatric Eye Disorders and Referral Adherence in an Enhanced School-Based Vision Screening Program in Ghana

2026Open accessKwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology

Abstract

In this pilot school-based program, school context and socioeconomic status were associated with suspected pediatric vision and eye disorders, and referral adherence, respectively. These findings highlight equity-relevant gaps in referral adherence and underscore the need for context-specific strategies to strengthen referral pathways in low-resource settings.
