Community-based nutrition intervention to promote oral health and restore healthy body weight in refugee children: a scoping review.

CONCLUSION: This scoping review found no community-based nutrition interventions for school-aged refugee children to promote oral health and restore healthy body weight. There is limited and weak evidence for the effectiveness of community-based nutrition interventions to restore healthy body weight in refugee settings. There is a need to conduct an early phase study to develop and co-produce community-based nutrition interventions to promote oral health and healthy body weight for children residing in long-term refugee situations and to investigate the feasibility for their implementation.
