“…According to the OECD classification, five studies reported data from a large metropolitan area ( 28 , 31 , 37 , 38 , 41 ). Sobral, Richmond, Rennes, Bristol, Ljubljana and Sosnowiec were classified as medium-sized urban areas ( 27 , 30 , 32 , 42 ); Barcelona, San Francisco, Lisbon, Detroit and Amsterdam were classified as metropolitan areas ( 33 , 36 , 40 , 42 ); and Noarlunga, Gulfport, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach as small-size urban areas ( 29 , 34 , 43 ). Matsapha and Vancouver were classified as other urban settings ( 35 , 39 ).…”

Objectives: To identify the validated and reliable indicators and tools to assess good governance for population health, wellbeing, and equity in urban settings, and assess processes of multisectoral action and civic engagement as reported by peer-reviewed articles.Methods: We conducted a systematic review searching six databases for observational studies reporting strategies of either urban health, multisectoral action or civic engagement for wellbeing, health, or equity.Results: Out of 8,154 studies initially identified we included 17. From the included studies, 14 presented information about high-income countries. The general population was the main target in most studies. Multisectoral action was the most frequently reported strategy (14 studies). Three studies used Urban Health Equity Assessment and Response Tool (Urban HEART). Health indicators were the most frequently represented (6 studies). Barriers and facilitators for the implementation of participatory health governance strategies were reported in 12 studies.Conclusion: Data on the implementation of participatory health governance strategies has been mainly reported in high-income countries. Updated and reliable data, measured repeatedly, is needed to closely monitor these processes and further develop indicators to assess their impact on population health, wellbeing, and equity.

“…Community members can contribute in many ways, for example, by helping develop priorities, contributing to programme design, contributing to implementation and contributing to evaluation (Fastring et al., 2018 ; Humowiecki et al., 2018 ; Kuo et al., 2018 ; Sirdenis et al., 2019 ; Vermeer et al., 2015 ).…”

“…Recommended practices include linking data to an evaluation plan and tying data to collaborative goals (Bodurtha et al., 2017 ; Connolly et al., 2016 ; Koo et al., 2016 ; Public Health Leadership Forum, 2018 ; Scally et al., 2017 ; Siegel et al., 2015 ). Ultimately, data linked in this way can be used to implement feedback loops, where needs, efforts and outcomes are tied together cyclically to assess progress (Beers et al., 2018 ; Browne et al., 2016 ; Center for Health Care Strategies & Nonprofit Finance Fund, 2018 ; Center for Sharing Public Health Services & Public Health National Center for Innovations, 2019 , 2011 ; Chandran et al., 2019 , 2011 ; Corbin et al., 2018 ; Costenbader et al., 2018 ; Davis & Tsao, 2015 ; Fastring et al., 2018 ; Fuller et al., 2015 ; Gottlieb et al., 2019 ; Jones, 2018 ; Prevention Institute, 2018 ; Public Health Leadership Forum, 2018 ; Spencer & Freda, 2016 ).…”

Organisations spanning social services, public health and healthcare have increasingly experimented with collaboration as a tool for improving population health and reducing health disparities. While there has been progress, the results have fallen short of expectations. Reflecting on these shortcomings, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) recently proposed a new framework for cross‐sector alignment intended to move the field towards improved outcomes. A central idea in this framework is that collaboratives will be more effective and sustainable if they develop collaborative systems in four core areas: shared purpose, governance, finance and shared data. The goal of this paper is to provide a foundation for research on the four core areas of the cross‐sector alignment framework. Accordingly, this study is based on two guiding questions: (1) how are collaboratives currently implementing systems in the four core areas identified in the framework, and (2) what strategies does the literature offer for creating sustainable systems in these four areas? Given the emergent nature of research on health‐oriented cross‐sector collaboration and the broad research questions, we conducted a systematic scoping review including 179 relevant research papers and reports published internationally from the years 2010–2020. We identified the main contributions and coded each based on its relevance to the cross‐sector alignment framework. We found that most papers focused on programme evaluations rather than theory testing, and while many strategies were offered, they tended to reflect a focus on short‐term collaboration. The results also demonstrate that starting points and resource levels vary widely across individuals and organisations involved in collaborations. Accordingly, identifying and comparing distinct pathways by which different parties might pursue cross‐sector alignment is an imperative for future work. More broadly, the literature is ripe with observations that could be assessed systematically to produce a firm foundation for research and practice.

“…The third passive community voice strategy is to hold community forums. Community forums are used to share data with community members and to compare already-obtained data with community perceptions [32]. Community members might, for example, take part in community roundtables or working groups [33].…”

BackgroundHealth care access is an important driver of population health, and factors beyond health care also drive health outcomes. Recognizing the importance of the social determinants of health (SDOH), different actors in the health care, public health, and social service sectors are increasingly collaborating to improve health outcomes in communities. To support such collaboration, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently developed the cross-sector alignment theory of change. According to the cross-sector alignment theory of change, community voice is critical for helping collaboratives address community health needs. Yet research on health collaboratives offers little guidance on how community voice should be understood, or which community voice strategies are most effective.MethodsThis study addresses a gap in the literature with a systematic scoping review of research on health-oriented collaboration and community voice. By scanning key academic journals, searching three academic databases, and obtaining documents from across our professional networks, we identified 36 documents that address community voice in health collaboratives. The review reveals several concepts of community voice and a range of community voice strategies.ResultsWe find that community voice strategies fall into two broad approaches: active and passive. These vary in the level of engagement required from the community and in the level of power shared between communities and collaborators, and this in turn has implications for community health outcomes. We also find that while most strategies are discussed in the context of short-term collaboration, many also lend themselves to adoption in the context of sustainable collaboration and, ultimately, cross-sector alignment.ConclusionThis review provides a characterization and conceptualization of community voice in health-oriented collaborations that provides a new theoretical basis for future research. Passive and active community voice strategies can be studied in more detail for their expected impact on health outcomes and disparities. The increased attention to active community voice can help practitioners achieve improved health outcomes and researchers understand the pathways to health improvement through collaboration.
