Nineteen articles met inclusion criteria: English, 2009-2021, services delivered by occupational therapy practitioners or supervised students, for underserved populations/individuals, in community-based care, and primary health care settings. Five synergistic themes emerged from the literature are discussed: Client-centered, team collaboration, holistic and preventative health and wellness, evidence-based program evaluation, and innovative service delivery.
