| Abstract (ENG): |
The global pandemic accelerated the rise of digital public health (DPH), yet standardized assessment procedures for digital public health interventions (DPHIs) remain limited. This scoping review aims to identify existing assessment frameworks applicable to DPHIs. A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, the Healthcare Administration Database, and Google Scholar, following Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines. English-language full-text studies published since 2020 were included. Of 1,196 studies screened, 12 met the inclusion criteria. One DPHI framework was identified, alongside three generic digital health frameworks and an adapted RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) model. Findings reveal a significant gap in validated assessment frameworks for DPHIs. Broader frameworks that consider social, cultural, and country-specific factors are needed to fully realize the potential of DPHIs and address issues like the digital divide. |
