Organization's strategies to improve implementation of universal accessibility principles: protocol of scoping review
ABSTRACT
Background:
Since the publication of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, several countries have adopted laws, policies, and action plans to improve the universal accessibility of environments to improve inclusion and social participation of all citizens. Different organizations are involved in the application of these measures.
Objective:
The goal of this study is to identify strategies that are contextually appropriate and that provide guidelines for organizations to promote successful implementation of universal accessibility.
Methods:
We will conduct a scoping review identifying implementation strategies of universal accessibility measures in local organizations using the Arksey and O’Malley framework. We will search in Medline, CINHAL, Urban Studies Abstracts, ABI Inform and Social Sciences Full Text, from 2006 until today, following the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Two reviewers will independently select studies for inclusion and extract the data. A descriptive and thematic analysis of the characteristics of the identified implementation strategies will be performed using the NVivo software.
Results:
No results have been available so far
Conclusions:
We will present characteristics of studies and outcomes of implementation strategies in all included studies in a table. The results of this scoping review are expected to help research community in various fields, local organizations, and stakeholders to identify better ways to improve implementation strategies of universal accessibility practices.
