2) Data-availability scores: all required data elements available (A) ; not available (NA). 3) Data-accessibility scores: data elements automatically available, partly automatically available, manual available; and easy accessible (EA), difficult to access (DA).
Three sub-themes were abstracted from the data encompassing this focus: accessibility of the manual, providing choice in programme delivery modes, and accessing group support.

Regarding the accessibility of the manual, our study indicates there was strong support among carers to retain the book-form format of the self-help programme, with minor modifications.
A potential disadvantage of using a DVD only, highlighted earlier, is it lacked the accessibility and convenience of the manual and facility for the reader to actively write in it.
Carers commented about the accessibility of the self-help manual approach in equipping them for their caregiving role, and about whether other modes of delivery should be used to provide the programme.
The manual was also perceived as being accessible, easy to read and understand, and some suggestions were made for enhancing its accessibility.
We assigned 1, 2 or 3 points to the accessibility scores Automatic, Partly Automatic and Manual and averaged the scores per indicator.
Initially, manual analysis was performed to identify categories related with accessibility to health services through several readings of the papers.
However, this doesn't address the goal of increasing accessibility of the system for those with limited manual dexterity or visual impairment.
Only 20% of the reviewed sites met Section 508 requirements, and only 19% of the sites met WAI Priority 1 accessibility standards, based on a combination of automated evaluation and manual inspection of the code.
