Background Gamification has been used successfully to promote various desired health behaviors. Previous studies have gamification achieve behaviors or facilitate their learning about health. Objective In this scoping review, we aimed describe digital gamified tools that implemented evaluated across populations encourage vaccination, as well any reported effects of identified tools. Methods We searched Medline, Embase, CINAHL, the Web Science Core Collection, Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews, Central Register Controlled Trials, Academic Search Premier, PsycInfo, Global Health, and ERIC for peer-reviewed papers describing with without evaluations. also conducted web searches Google identify lacking associated publications. consulted 12 experts in field behavior might missed. extracted data target population tools, interventions themselves (eg, type tool platform, disease/vaccine, design study), synthesized narratively. Results Of 1402 records, included 28 (2%) 10 The added 1 met inclusion criteria.

Recent studies have used the World Health Organization's new Behavioural and Social Drivers (BeSD) framework to analyse vaccine uptake. However, this study of COVID-19 vaccination among marginalised population groups highlights framework's limitations regarding centrality state in shaping people's intentions high income countries. We conducted interviews focus with service providers community members explore amongst Western Australians experiencing homelessness and/or from other populations (such as people substance use dependence). Analysing data iteratively emphasise state's role functions, we elaborate how trauma mistrust government drive thoughts, feelings, social interactions programs, which are mutually reinforcing inhibit individuals' willingness engage. Government systems that leave some behind increase those populations' susceptibility misinformation. Policies may generate unintended problems: worried about advocacy damaging clients' trust, especially context mandates.
