23 Primary Outcome

A. Vision-related: - at 6 months and 1 year post visit to schools • Prevalence of refractive error and need for spectacles • Proportion of children requiring refractive correction who have obtained it at baseline • Determinants of glasses wear at baseline • Behaviorial and familial risk factors for myopia • Visual function and healthy behaviour knowledge pre and post-intervention, compared to control schools • Uptake of spectacles among children with refractive error, comparing the control and ocular interventions • Other determinants of spectacle uptake • Impact of spectacle uptake on visual function and school performance outcomes • Barriers to parents in providing glasses

24 Secondary Outcome

B. Outcomes related to other proposed health interventions - at 6 months and 1 year post visit to schools • Changes in attitude/behaviour post-intervention, compared to control schools • Smoking rates and changes in attitude/behaviour post-intervention, compared to control schools • Social marketing approaches will be tested out and assessed for their impact
