Analytical framework used in this study for factors influencing access to care†

Main categories	Affordability	Acceptability	Accessibility*	Adequacy*
Sub-categories (and examples)	▪ Missed opportunities (lost income due to inability to work)	▪ Side effects of treatment	▪ Distance to facility (effort to cover distance, time needed)	▪ Organisational appropriateness of services
	▪ Medical costs (costs for diagnostic tests, drugs, etc.)	▪ Perceived quality of care (technical specialisation of providers)		▪ Physical state and cleanliness of facilities
	▪ Non-medical costs (transportation costs, expenditure for disease-related diets, etc.)	▪ Attitude of providers (friendliness of doctors)		▪ Convenient opening hours
		▪ Lack of confidentiality (other community members find out about TB patient)
		▪ Health beliefs (lack of belief in curability)

†Adapted from reference 20.

*In the participatory approach, factors relating to accessibility and adequacy were not regarded as important (no chickpeas allocated) and the results are presented without these factors.
