How do children's hospitals address health inequalities: a grey literature scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Health inequalities are systematic differences in health between people, which are avoidable and unfair. Globally, more political strategies are required to address health inequalities, which have increased since the global SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic, with a disproportionate impact on children. This scoping review aimed to identify and collate information on how hospitals around the world that deliver care to children have addressed health inequalities.

Design

Scoping review focused solely on grey literature.

Eligibility criteria for selecting studies

Following Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, a four-step approach to identifying literature was adopted.
