The 'EquitAble' project carried out content analyses of policies and collected and analysed qualitative and quantitative data concerning access to health services in Sudan, Malawi, Namibia and South Africa. Our particular concern was to address the situation of people with disabilities, although not in isolation from other marginalised or vulnerable groups.
This article reports on the content, context, process and impact of project EquitAble, funded by the European Commission Seventh Research Framework Programme, which brought together researchers from Ireland, Norway, South Africa, Namibia, Sudan and Malawi.
After the 4-year project ended in February 2013, all members of the consortium were asked to anonymously complete a bespoke questionnaire designed by the coordinating team. The purpose of the questionnaire was to capture the views of those who collaborated on the research project in relation to issues of content, context, process and impact of the EquitAble project.
Our results indicated some of the successes and challenges encountered by our consortium.
We identified contextual and process learning points, factors often not discussed in papers, which typically focus on the reporting of the 'content' of results.
“公平可及”项目对政策进行了内容分析，并收集和分析了有关苏丹、马拉维、纳米比亚和南非卫生服务可及性的定性和定量数据。我们特别关注的是残疾人的状况，不过并非将其与其他边缘化或弱势群体孤立开来。
本文报告了由欧盟委员会第七研究框架计划资助的“公平可及”项目的内容、背景、过程和影响，该项目汇聚了来自爱尔兰、挪威、南非、纳米比亚、苏丹和马拉维的研究人员。
在该为期4年的项目于2013年2月结束后，要求联合体的所有成员匿名填写由协调团队设计的定制问卷。问卷的目的是收集参与该研究项目的人员对“公平可及”项目的内容、背景、过程和影响等问题的看法。
我们的结果表明了联合体所取得的一些成功以及遇到的挑战。
我们确定了背景和过程方面的经验教训，这些因素在论文中通常未被讨论，而论文通常侧重于结果“内容”的报告。
