  • The review identified 44 studies from an initial pool of 19,519, with health disparities linked to socioeconomic status and healthcare access.
  • Assessment followed the JBI Scoping Review Guidelines, incorporating various study designs including randomized and non-randomized trials.
  • These findings emphasize the urgent need for community strategies to enhance health behaviors and reduce disparities in this vulnerable demographic.
