Research played a big part in this piece. So much so that I have a rather long annotated bibliography. I contemplated just copying and pasting that document unto this page but it would be too long. Instead, I’m providing links and citations for all the articles I read and here is a link to my Annotated Bibliography for Inequality and the Patch. All images used except the graph were found at the Wikipedia Commons, thereby free to reuse and share. The attributions required by Wiki Commons are below. The graph I made myself using Microsoft Word and data from “Barriers to Compliance in Amblyopia Therapy: Parental Perspectives in Low-and-High-income Families” by Leenheer, Dunbar, Colburn et. all. It is important to note that some of the articles listed below belong to private databases I gained access to through my university (the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor). As a result the links I provide may not be enough for you to access these articles.
