BACKGROUND: Culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) consumers and carers have been identified as experiencing high levels of unmet needs relating to information and support across the cancer journey. This review identified and evaluated the effectiveness of strategies to meet the cancer information needs of consumers and carers from CaLD backgrounds. METHODS: This review followed Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for systematic reviews. Databases searched included MEDLINE, CINAHL Ultimate, PsycINFO and AMED, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, and GreyNet. Published and unpublished studies between 2013 - May 2024 on interventions, programmes or resources developed for adults (aged 18 years and over) from CaLD communities in relation to cancer prevention, cancer treatment or life after cancer were reviewed for inclusion. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023451557). RESULTS: One hundred and twenty papers were included in the review. The majority were quasi-experimental studies (n = 52), followed by randomised controlled trials (n = 38) and qualitative studies (n = 25). The populations represented in the review included Latino (n = 47), Chinese (n = 28), Asian (n = 19), Korean (n = 16), and Vietnamese communities (n = 7). Most studies focused on prevention activities (n = 89) with a smaller number focused on active treatment (n = 6) and life after cancer (n = 20). Most studies focused on breast cancer (n = 37), followed by cervical cancer (n = 21)...
