In this study, there was no association between vision screening failure rates and school ADI. With one in three students failing screening in a high poverty public school district, these findings suggest a high need for vision services across schools in all neighbourhoods. Future work should investigate the impact of students' home ADI and socioeconomic status on vision screening outcomes.
