Health service access for ethnically underrepresented communities: A scoping review of complex interventions

All domains of the patient centred access framework were represented with approachability and acceptability being the most common. Effectiveness assessment was not included in two thirds of studies however, complex interventions show promise to improve equity in ethnically underrepresented communities. Future research should endeavour to assess effectiveness and the translation of interventions in healthcare contexts outside of primary care and mental health. Future policy and research should consider how to increase transparency of power and build strong collaborations with underrepresented communities.
