Indigenous peoples experience a disparate burden of chronic diseases and lower access to health education resources compared with other populations. Technology can increase access to health education resources, potentially reducing health inequities in these vulnerable populations. Although many Indigenous communities have limited access to the Internet, this barrier is decreasing as tribes and Indigenous-serving organizations work to improve TechQuity. Using Arksey and O'Malley's framework, we conducted a scoping literature review to identify technology-based health education interventions designed for Indigenous adults. We searched multiple databases, limiting papers to those written in English, describing interventions for participants 18 years of age or older, and published between 1999-2020. The review yielded 229 articles, nine of which met eligibility criteria. Findings suggest a paucity of technology-based health education interventions designed for Indigenous peoples and limited testing of the existing resources. Future health disparity research should focus on development and rigorous testing of such interventions.
与其他人群相比，土著人民患有慢性疾病的负担更大，获得健康教育资源的机会也更少。技术可以增加获得健康教育资源的机会，从而有可能减少这些弱势群体的健康不平等。尽管许多土著社区上网机会有限，但随着部落和为土著人服务的组织努力改善技术公平性，这一障碍正在减少。我们使用 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的框架，进行了一项范围广泛的文献综述，以确定针对成年土著人的基于技术的健康教育干预措施。我们搜索了多个数据库，将论文限制在以英文撰写、描述针对 18 岁或以上参与者的干预措施且发表于 1999-2020 年的论文。综述共产生了 229 篇文章，其中 9 篇符合入选标准。研究结果表明，针对土著人民的基于技术的健康教育干预措施很少，现有的资源也很少经过测试。未来的健康差距研究应侧重于此类干预措施的开发和严格测试。
