Health and support service needs of individuals with disability from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

All individuals should have the right to engage meaningfully in occupations that meet their aspirations and life goals as well as promote their health and well-being. For individuals with disability, meaningful engagement in occupations is supported by timely, effective, and adaptive health and support services. However, research has revealed multiple barriers preventing utilization of these services by individuals with disability from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. This review aims to identify gaps and solutions in health and support services of individuals with disability from CALD backgrounds to meaningfully engage in occupations.

Methods

A scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodolo
