  abstract = {{A}cceptability is a key concept used to analyze the introduction of a health innovation in a specific setting. {H}owever, there seems to be a lack of clarity in this notion, both conceptually and practically. {I}n low and middle-income countries, programs to support the diffusion of new technological tools are multiplying. {T}hey face challenges and difficulties that need to be understood with an in-depth analysis of the acceptability of these innovations. {W}e performed a scoping review to explore the theories, methods and conceptual frameworks that have been used to measure and understand the acceptability of technological health innovations in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica. {T}he review confirmed the lack of common definitions, conceptualizations and practical tools addressing the acceptability of health innovations. {T}o synthesize and combine evidence, both theoretically and empirically, we then used the "best fit framework synthesis" method. {B}ased on five conceptual and theoretical frameworks from scientific literature and evidence from 33 empirical studies, we built a conceptual framework in order to understand the acceptability of technological health innovations. {T}his framework comprises 6 determinants (compatibility, social influence, personal emotions, perceived disadvantages, perceived advantages and perceived complexity) and two moderating factors (intervention and context). {T}his knowledge synthesis work has also enabled us to propose a chronology of the different stages of acceptability.},
