A rapid realist review synthesizing evidence from 2014 to 2024 on social prescribing and social-capital interventions for refugee populations. The work, authored by Victoria Touzel, analyzed 7,436 records, with 39 studies contributing to the synthesis, resulting in five intervention families and 15 prioritized program theories. The dataset is a 78.2 KB PDF document last updated on 2026-05 08.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the effectiveness of barrier-reduction interventions based on the identified program theories.
• Informing the design of co-produced navigation services based on the concept of bidirectional exchange.
• Developing trauma-responsive support infrastructure based on the review's findings on safety as spatial and relational.
• Prioritizing research on access pathways into social prescribing based on the identified critical evidence gap.
• Training healthcare workforces on adapted social prescribing models for refugee communities based on the review's conclusions.

Strengths

• The review is RAMESES-compliant and supported by an expert advisory board, suggesting methodological rigor.
• Searches covered six databases and grey literature from 2014 to 2024, providing a defined temporal scope.
• Synthesis produced five intervention families and 15 prioritized program theories, offering structured insights.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 78.2 KB PDF, indicating a limited scope focused on review findings rather than primary data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description notes evidence limitations restrict wider generalizability, particularly regarding population reporting and marginalized subgroups.
