Strategies to Increase Filipino American Participation in Cardiovascular Health Promotion: A Systematic Review

PEER REVIEWED

A total of 347 records were identified through database searching, and 5 additional records were identified through other sources. After duplicate articles were removed and others screened, 344 articles remained. After 309 records were excluded, 35 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. Of these, 26 were excluded (8 were not peer reviewed, 9 were descriptive studies, and 9 were not focused on Filipino Americans). Nine articles were included in the qualitative synthesis.

Figure 2 plots the selected articles by using the Spencer grid. Quality assessment scores are on the x axis, and total impact scores are on the y axis. The quality assessment score is the total number of quality criteria of 9 total that were met by the study (<5 = limited quality, 5–7 = fair quality, 8–9 = good quality). The total impact score is the mean of effectiveness, reach, feasibility, sustainability, and transferability scores for the intervention (<2 = low impact, 2–3 = moderate impact, <3 = high impact).
