Strategies to decrease societal and cultural barriers for ethnic minorities to participate in health research are well established. However, limited data are available regarding participation of ethnic minorities in mobile and Internet technology-based interventions to self-manage type 2 diabetes where health disparities are predominant. Thus, the purpose was to understand the participation of ethnic minorities in technology-based intervention programs to manage type 2 diabetes.
DESIGN/METHOD: A scoping review was used to review a total of 21 intervention studies containing participant information about ethnic minorities and one qualitative study discussing participation of ethnic minorities.
There was limited enrollment and participation of ethnic minorities. Technological barriers in addition to existing societal and cultural barriers were identified. Strategies to decrease the barriers were recommended.
Technological barriers were identified on top of the societal and cultural barriers in traditional interventions. Further research to reduce the barriers is warranted.
已经制定了减少少数民族参与健康研究的社会和文化障碍的策略。然而，关于少数民族参与基于移动和互联网技术的自我管理 2 型糖尿病干预措施的数据有限，而这些干预措施在健康差异方面占主导地位。因此，目的是了解少数民族参与基于技术的干预计划以管理 2 型糖尿病的情况。
设计/方法：使用范围综述方法共审查了 21 项干预研究，其中包含有关少数民族参与者的信息，以及一项讨论少数民族参与情况的定性研究。
少数民族的参与人数和参与度有限。除了现有的社会和文化障碍外，还确定了技术障碍。还提出了减少障碍的策略。
在传统干预措施中，除了社会和文化障碍外，还存在技术障碍。有必要进一步研究减少这些障碍的方法。
