Clinical and cost-effectiveness of telehealth for Indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people: a scoping review.

The available literature suggests acceptable clinical and non-clinical effectiveness of telehealth against usual care in Indigenous and/or CALD groups but methodological limitations diminish their value in informing practice. Therefore, we consider it is premature to use the findings of these primary studies to draw conclusive recommendations about clinical or other effectiveness of telehealth for the two target groups. Further randomised trials with adequate sampling frames and objective outcome assessments are warranted.
