Published in: Global health promotion (2022)
A growing body of evidence demonstrates that digital inclusion mediates access to other social determinants of health - directly, through access to and literacy in technologies or services, and indirectly, by supporting people's capacity to participate fully and equitably in civic and cultural life online. Novel approaches to community-led participatory journalism, in which people from equity-deserving communities are supported to tell their own stories, suggest promising practices for online civic engagement as an emerging approach to promoting health though digital inclusion.
