All (13\/13) examined patient\u2010reported behaviours and barriers. Pharmacy dispensing practices were mentioned in 12\/13 studies but were not directly examined (0\/13). Regulatory processes (0\/13), primary care consultation processes (0\/13), and intervention evaluation (0\/13) were not empirically examined. Nine studies proposed system\u2010level interventions without implementation or outcome evaluation. Only one study included Myanmar participants, limited to Thai\u2010Myanmar border migrant populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Within the indexed biomedical corpus examined, empirical attention is concentrated at the level of patient\u2010reported behaviour, while system\u2010 and practice\u2010level processes remain unexamined.
