All interviews and observation of screening were conducted on-site. The implementation outcomes costs and sustainability will be assessed after the second year of implementation.
From discussions with several rural family doctors it appeared that they encountered difficulties in their work that could prevent them from taking part in vision screening. To gain more insight into these difficulties, a short questionnaire was developed for family doctors (Additional file 5).
To monitor all screening results and follow-up activity, an electronic database was developed (Additional file 6). Data pertaining to all screened children were analysed to assess the results of the implementation of screening.
