abstract: 'Background Forced displacement is a crucial determinant of poor health.
|
|
With 31 people displaced every minute worldwide, this is an important global issue.
|
|
Addressing this, the Participation Revolution workstream from the World Humanitarian
|
|
Summit''s Localisation commitments has gained traction in attempting to improve
|
|
the effectiveness of humanitarian aid. Simultaneously, digital health initiatives
|
|
have become increasingly ubiquitous tools in crises to deliver humanitarian assistance
|
|
and address health burdens. Objective This scoping review explores how the localisation
|
|
agenda''s commitment to participation has been adopted within digital health interventions
|
|
used by displaced people in low-and-middle-income countries. Methods This review
|
|
adopted the Arksey and O''Malley approach and searched five academic databases and
|
|
three online literature repositories with a Population, Concept and Context inclusion
|
|
criteria. Data were synthesised and analysed through a critical power lens from
|
|
the perspective of displaced people in low-and-middle-income- countries. Results
|
|
27 papers demonstrated that a heterogeneous group of health issues were addressed
|
|
through various digital health initiatives, principally through the use of mobile
|
|
phones. The focus of the literature lay largely within technical connectivity and
|
|
feasibility assessments, leaving a gap in understanding potential health implications.
|
|
The varied conceptualisation of the localisation phenomenon has implications for
|
|
the future of participatory humanitarian action: Authorship of reviewed literature
|
|
primarily descended from high-income countries exposing global power dynamics leading
|
|
the narrative. However, power was not a central theme in the literature: Whilst
|
|
authors acknowledged the benefit of local involvement, participatory activities
|
|
were largely limited to informing content adaptations and functional modifications
|
|
within pre-determined projects and objectives. Conclusion With over 100 million
|
|
people displaced globally, effective initiatives that meaningfully address health
|
|
needs without perpetuating harmful inequalities are an essential contribution to
|
|
the humanitarian arena. The gap in health outcomes evidence, the limited constructions
|
|
of health, and the varying and nuanced digital divide factors are all indicators
|
|
of unequal power in the digital health sphere. More needs to be done to address
|
|
these gaps meaningfully, and more meaningful participation could be a crucial undertaking
|
|
to achieve this. Registration The study protocol was registered before the study
