Pilot study summaryO_ST_ABSTitleC_ST_ABSPiloting a phone-based web survey to elicit barriers to accessing triage camps within community-based, Peek-powered eye screening programmes DesignPilot test of an online survey sent via SMS to 1,600 parents/guardians of children who did not attend eye clinics having been found to have an eye need at school screening. We will perform the same pilot twice; once in Botswana and once in Nepal AimsTo quantify the response rate among 16 different subgroups of recipients according to gender, location, wealth and assets. Note that we are not concerned with the responses at this pilot phase - only the suitability of the medium. PopulationParents/guardians of children who did not attend screening within Botswanas Peek-powered national school-based Pono Yame programme, and participants in Nepals Peek-powered community screening programme InterventionA four-question online survey exploring barriers to attendance. The hyperlink will be sent via SMS. Non-responders will receive a single follow-up reminder 7 days later. Outcome measureCumulative survey completion rates over the 31 days that follow the original SMS invitation. DurationAll survey invitations will be sent on the same day. As such, the pilot will last 31 days.
