“…Workshops [ 13 , 35 ] and focus groups [ 6 , 33 ] were seen as avenues that allow people to discuss their ideas in an open and relaxed atmosphere. There were a variety of workshop formats described in the surveyed literature.…”

“…The quality of studies varied depending on their study designs. No study could possibly list all of the characteristics of good quality design that we discussed, some studies did not adequately list their sample criteria [ 25 , 27 , 31 , 32 , 34 ], study participation rates [ 28 - 31 , 33 , 34 ], ethics statements [ 6 , 26 , 31 ], only two studies adequately mentioned respondent validation [ 29 , 34 ], and only one study mentioned researcher reflexivity [ 28 ]. (See supplementary table 1 in the supplementary material showing how each study rated in the study quality assessment).…”

“…Furthermore, the dearth of empirical research in this study subject calls for more measures to conduct empirical studies to close the gaps between a theoretical perspective and its application in the real world to determine the relevance of CE strategies and approaches to address social issues. Some scholars raised great concern by describing CE as less participative and lacking theoretical components that are responsive to the needs of the researched communities in LMICs [ 6 , 13 , 27 , 35 , 42 ]. However, this is debatable because LMICs have different characteristics that researchers need to consider.…”

Background Community Engagement is an important ethical imperative in research. Although substantial research emphasizes its real value and strategic importance, much of the available literature focuses primarily on the success of community participation, with little emphasis given to specific community engagement processes, mechanisms and strategies in relation to intended outcomes in research environments. The systematic literature review’s objective was to explore the nature of community engagement processes, strategies and approaches in health research settings in low- and middle-income countries. Methods The systematic literature review design was informed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We searched for peer-reviewed, English-language literature published between January 2011 and December 2021 through three databases on the internet (PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar). The terms "community engagement," "community involvement," "participation," "research settings," and "low- and middle-income countries" were merged in the search. Results The majority of publications [8/10] were led by authors from low- and middle-income countries, with many of them, [9/10] failing to continuously include important aspects of study quality. Even though consultation and information sessions were less participatory, articles were most likely to describe community engagement in these types of events. The articles covered a wide range of health issues, but the majority were concerned with infectious diseases such as malaria, human immunodeficiency virus, and tuberculosis, followed by studies on the environment and broader health factors. Articles were largely under-theorized. Conclusions Despite the lack of theoretical underpinnings for various community engagement processes, strategies and approaches, community engagement in research settings was variable. Future studies should go deeper into community engagement theory, acknowledge the power dynamics underpin community engagement, and be more practical about the extent to which communities may participate.
