Data from: Strategies to Improve Use of Online Health Information in Systemically Excluded Populations: A Rapid Realist Synthesis

Public

  • As internet use for obtaining health information increases with the additional integration of artificial intelligence, more emphasis should be placed to design with these platforms with systematically excluded populations, such as low English literacy, racial and ethnic minority groups, and those of diverse gender and sexual orientations, in mind. Online platform developers are in need of a resource that includes evidence-based inclusive practices that can be included in platform development.
