Medical-Legal Partnerships for women in the United States: a systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

MLPs offer a promising approach to addressing needs related to adverse social determinants of health through the provision of legal services in clinical healthcare settings. Evidence to support the MLP model is in early stages. Little is known about the gendered impacts of the MLP model or how they might be tailored for women. The objectives of this systematic review are to (1) compare the impacts of Medical-Legal Partnerships (MLPs) by gender, and (2) identify tailored approaches adopted by MLPs to assist women.

Methods
