Further to the initial screening, abstracts and full articles were reviewed and removed if the primary objectives of the paper did not investigate the use of telehealth and digital technologies by community pharmacists for public health purposes and were not run as RCTs. A template was created in Excel, which both authors used to extract data including intervention variables (location of intervention and recruitment criteria, topic of delivered public health intervention, type of telecommunication or digital communication technology used, and duration of the intervention), participant variables (mean age, gender, and ethnicity), outcomes variables (e.g., quit smoking rates, reduction in weight, reduction in alcohol consumption, and treatment of a sexual transmitted disease). ./cache/cord-329313-tlbjw5kn.txt ./txt/cord-329313-tlbjw5kn.txt
