ABSTRACT
DATA SOURCES Four electronic databases MEDLINE (via Ovid), Embase (via Ovid), Web of Science, and American Psychology Association PsycINFO. STUDY SELECTION Quantitative observational or interventional studies, published until the end of February 2022 with no restrictions to date, language, or region of publication. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS:
Screening performed by one author and a second author independently reviewed a random sample of 10% of the articles. Disagreements were resolved in consultation with a third author.RESULTS:
The results were presented as a narrative review due to large heterogeneity of data. Nine studies met the eligibility criteria and most of them were rated as fair quality. The main factors influencing refugees access to dental care services were demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and English language proficiency.CONCLUSIONS:
The review suggests that individual-level factors may have a predisposing effect on refugees' access, but had limited evidence on other enabling and contextual factors.
