Abstract:
|
A bibliometric review was conducted to assess the available scientific
knowledge regarding the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
by Individuals Experiencing Homelessness (IEH) and reflect on the existing evidence
that ICT use has on their health. A total of 50 published articles were selected after
a process of systematic review from five databases containing record of publications up until 2016. All the studies were published in English, half of the works were
published in the last three years and 48% of them included the description of ICT
use as an objective. Despite the fact that experimental studies were rare, and
sample sizes typically small, it was concluded that the studies analyzing the effect
of ICT on health display benefits. ndeed, the use of such technology offers promising opportunities to explore new ways of intervention in prevention, harm reduction
and health treatment of IEH. |
