People with disabilities have a higher prevalence of living in poverty compared to people without disabilities, which largely results from the challenges, barriers, inequalities and discrimination they often encounter. However, little is known about relevant policies, practices, and anti-poverty interventions that could facilitate a better quality of life for people with disabilities.
A scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology was used to explore the existing practices, policies and interventions to address poverty among people with disabilities. The search involved six international databases: Ovid Medline, Healthstar, PsychINFO, Econlit, Scopus and Web of Science where two reviewers screened 4548 studies for inclusion.
Thirty-seven studies were included in the review, which spanned across 20 countries. Our review noted the following key trends: (1) poverty alleviation policies; (2) programs and practices to address poverty (e.g., benefits, barriers and factors affecting access); and (3) cash transfers, especially their impact and factors affecting transfers.
The findings of this review underscore the potential value of poverty alleviation strategies and policies for assisting people with disabilities. The results could help to inform guidelines and recommendations for policies, practices, and interventions to help alleviate poverty among people with disabilities.
与非残疾人相比，残疾人生活贫困的发生率更高，这在很大程度上是由于他们经常遇到的挑战、障碍、不平等和歧视所致。然而，对于能够促进残疾人提高生活质量的相关政策、做法和扶贫干预措施，人们却知之甚少。
采用遵循乔安娜·布里格斯研究所方法的范围综述，以探索解决残疾人贫困问题的现有做法、政策和干预措施。检索涉及六个国际数据库：Ovid Medline、Healthstar、PsychINFO、Econlit、Scopus和Web of Science，由两名评审员筛选4548项研究以确定是否纳入。
该综述纳入了37项研究，这些研究涵盖20个国家。我们的综述指出了以下关键趋势：（1）扶贫政策；（2）解决贫困问题的项目和做法（如福利、影响获取的障碍和因素）；（3）现金转移，尤其是其影响以及影响转移的因素。
本综述的结果强调了扶贫战略和政策对帮助残疾人的潜在价值。这些结果有助于为旨在帮助减轻残疾人贫困的政策、做法和干预措施的指导方针和建议提供参考。
