“…As shown in Figure 3 , initial database extractions resulted in 235 citations, which were narrowed down to n = 88 articles retrieved directly from databases (and n = 12 retrieved from additional hand searches resulting in N = 100 total articles) meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria after deduplication, title/abstract, and full-text review ( 1 – 5 , 7 – 10 , 12 – 15 , 18 – 26 , 28 – 33 , 35 , 36 , 38 – 40 , 42 – 54 , 56 , 59 – 61 , 63 , 65 – 70 , 72 , 74 , 76 – 78 , 80 – 87 , 89 – 91 , 97 – 99 , 105 – 111 , 114 – 122 , 124 – 126 , 135 , 138 – 142 ). Through hand searches of included references, and other retrieval techniques described above, we identified an additional n = 148 articles after deduplication.…”

In recent decades, there has been remarkable growth in scholarship examining the usefulness of community-engaged research (CEnR) and community-based participatory research (CBPR) for eliminating health inequities.This article seeks to synthesize the extant literature of systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and other related reviews regarding the context, processes, and research designs and interventions underlying CEnR that optimize its effectiveness. Through a scoping review, we have utilized an empirically derived framework of CBPR to map this literature and identify key findings and priorities for future research. Our study found 100 reviews of CEnR that largely support the CBPR conceptual framework.

“…Not least, it is also important to advocate for investment in research to identify health disparities and to measure outcomes related to social determinants of health. For example, funding for community-engaged research could help align researchers and community organizations to decrease vision health disparities [ 74 ]. In fact, community-engaged research is critical to engage stakeholders and tailor vision programs to community needs [ 75 ].…”

Social determinants of health encompass the quality of an individual’s social and physical environment and its effect on health outcomes. Disparities in these social and environmental factors have a significant role in vision health disparities and inequity in eye care. In this review, we discuss how disparities in visual impairment and eye care utilization are affected by each of the five core domains of social determinants of health, namely economic stability (income, employment, and food security), education (education level and health literacy), health care access (insurance and medical costs), neighborhood environment (housing conditions, home ownership, pollution, and crime), and social context (race and racism). Moreover, we describe a framework by which ophthalmologists can take action to address social determinants of vision health. These actionable strategies are guided by recommendations from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and have five complementary components to address social needs: awareness (screening for social needs), assistance (connecting patients with social care resources), adjustment (altering clinical care in recognition of social needs), alignment (understanding social assets and collaborating with community organizations), and advocacy (promoting policies to address social needs). Addressing social determinants of health is complex but achievable through collaborative strategies. Ophthalmologists have an important leadership role in addressing eye care disparities by taking action on underlying social determinants of vision health.

“…Engaging communities and enabling eye health actors to work together on eye health issues has the potential to enhance health-seeking behaviors and practices, and contribute towards transforming the policies and environments that shape and determine eye health outcomes. Previous systematic reviews have explored various aspects of community engagement including ophthalmology participatory research [ 8 ], access to school-based eye care [ 9 ], and uptake of cataract surgery [ 10 , 11 ]. However, understanding the ways in which communities are engaged in eye care and to what degree community participation is achieved, is currently limited [ 1 ].…”

Background Community engagement has been endorsed as a key strategy to achieving integrated people-centered eye care that enables people and communities to receive a full spectrum of eye care across their life-course. Understanding the ways communities are engaged in eye care, to what degree participation is achieved, and the factors associated with intervention implementation is currently limited. Objective The scoping review aimed to assess how community engagement is approached and implemented in eye care interventions in low- and middle-income countries, and to identify the barriers and facilitators associated with intervention implementation. Methods Searches were conducted across five databases for peer-reviewed research on eye care interventions engaging communities published in the last ten years (January 2011 to September 2021). Studies were screened, reviewed and appraised according to Cochrane Rapid Reviews methodology. A hybrid deductive-inductive iterative analysis approach was used. Results Of 4315 potential studies screened, 73 were included in the review. Studies were conducted across 28 countries and 55 targeted populations across more than one life-course stage. A variety of community actors were engaged in implementation, in four main domains of eye care: health promotion and education; drug and supplement distribution and immunization campaigns; surveillance, screening and detection activities; and referral and pathway navigation. With the approaches and level of participation, the majority of studies were community-based and at best, involved communities, respectively. Involving community actors alone does not guarantee community trust and therefore can impact eye care uptake. Community actors can be integrated into eye care programs, although with varying success. Using volunteers highlighted sustainability issues with maintaining motivation and involvement when resources are limited. Conclusion This scoping review provides researchers and policy makers contextual evidence on the breadth of eye care interventions and the factors to be considered when engaging and empowering communities in integrated people-centered eye care programs.
