Ihoghosa Iyamu -Health equity effects of digital interventions for sexually transmitted infection testing: A scoping review

Digital interventions promoting testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been increasingly implemented with the assumption that they guarantee equitable access to testing services for historically disadvantaged populations with higher prevalence of STIs. We conducted a scoping review to evaluate evidence of the health equity effects of these digital interventions. From 27 articles included in our review, we found limited focus on evaluating health equity effects of these interventions. Where available, evidence suggests benefits across sociodemographic strata with significantly less benefits for historically disadvantaged populations requiring these services the most.
