BACKGROUND Rural communities experience significant health inequities regarding tobacco use and access to cessation treatment due to geographic barriers and infrastructure limitations. Social media and other digital platforms offer promising avenues to improve access and overcome engagement challenges in tobacco cessation efforts for rural populations. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop and beta-test a social media intervention prototype (FaithCore) delivered through a Facebook group specifically designed for rural smokers seeking evidence-based smoking cessation resources. METHODS We developed a culturally and faith-aligned Facebook group intervention (FaithCore) tailored to promote the use of smoking cessation resources among rural smokers. The principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR) informed the intervention content and engagement strategies. A beta test was conducted with a sample of rural smokers to assess the intervention's usability, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy. RESULTS The beta-test results indicated that the FaithCore intervention was perceived as helpful, easy to understand, and effective in achieving its intended goals. Notably, 90% of participants reported attempting to quit smoking, and 90% reported utilizing or seeking the cessation resources discussed within the group. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that social media group interventions, incorporating culturally and faith-aligned content and engagement strategies delivered by trained moderators, hold promise for promoting smoking cessation in rural communities. Future research will involve a large pilot trial to evaluate the intervention's effectiveness on smoking cessation outcomes.

“…In addition, the beta test recruited individuals with access to the internet and smart devices to access Facebook, which may lead to selection bias. For future larger testing, we will consider providing a loaner digital device to participants with no digital access to eliminate this selection bias [30].…”

Concerns regarding the potential to aggravate disparities with unchecked telecare implementation have been validated.…”

Digital equity is imperative for realizing the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG9 and SDG10. Recent empirical studies indicate that Design for Digital Equity (DDE) is an effective strategy for achieving digital equity. However, before this review, the overall academic landscape of DDE remained obscure, marked by substantial knowledge gaps. This review employs a rigorous bibliometric methodology to analyze 1705 DDE-related publications, aiming to delineate DDE's research progress and intellectual structure and identify research opportunities. The retrieval strategy was formulated based on the PICo framework, with the process adhering to the PRISMA systematic review framework to ensure transparency and replicability of the research method. CiteSpace was utilized to visually present the analysis results, including co-occurrences of countries, institutions, authors, keywords, emerging trends, clustering, timeline analyses, and dual-map overlays of publications. The results reveal eight significant DDE clusters closely related to user-centered design, assistive technology, digital health, mobile devices, evidence-based practices, and independent living. A comprehensive intellectual structure of DDE was constructed based on the literature and research findings. The current research interest in DDE lies in evidence-based co-design practices, design issues in digital mental health, acceptance and humanization of digital technologies, digital design for visually impaired students, and intergenerational relationships. Future research opportunities are identified in DDE's emotional, cultural, and fashion aspects; acceptance of multimodal, tangible, and natural interaction technologies; needs and preferences of marginalized groups in developing countries and among minority populations; and broader interdisciplinary research. This study unveils the multi-dimensional and inclusive nature of methodological, technological, and user issues in DDE research. These insights offer valuable guidance for policy-making, educational strategies, and the development of inclusive digital technologies, charting a clear direction for future research.
