Key Points

The aim is to assess the current state of knowledge and awareness regarding inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) across different regions.
Conducted a scoping review of existing literature on IBD knowledge and awareness.
Analyzed cultural adaptability of educational tools and strategies.
Identified gaps in current awareness levels across various demographics.
Global awareness of IBD is insufficient and varies greatly by region.
Existing educational tools are often not culturally appropriate or adaptable.
There is a pressing need for multidisciplinary and technology-enabled educational strategies.

Implication

A scoping review highlights inadequate IBD awareness and suggests improved educational strategies.

Abstract

Global IBD knowledge and awareness remain inadequate and uneven across regions and domains. Updated, culturally appropriate and adaptable assessment tools and multidisciplinary, technology-enabled educational strategies are needed to enhance IBD literacy.
