Harnessing technology to enhance oral health literacy among Afghan women: an interprofessional community-engaged initiative
This study supports the effectiveness of a culturally responsive, technology-facilitated oral health intervention in enhancing self-care behaviors among Afghan refugee women. The findings suggest that healthcare providers should adopt patient-centered, community-engaged approaches to advance health outcomes. Technology-based interventions can effectively address constraints in health literacy.
