Use of Digital Health Interventions Among Forcibly Displaced People
In this systematic review and meta-analysis of 9 randomized clinical trials, forcibly displaced populations exhibited variable recruitment and retention rates, although pooled estimates were high. These findings suggest that digital technologies provide a unique opportunity for scalable health interventions in this population, which may mitigate the negative health consequences arising from the many biopsychosocial barriers to in-person care.
