Abstract
This scoping review aims to identify, map, and summarise existing guidance, approaches, and frameworks for producing and using social and behavioural evidence in community protection during Public Health Emergencies (PHEs). The review will summarise and critically reflect on the tools, methods and approaches to produce social and behavioural evidence for PHEs; summarise the scope and describe the characteristics, content and domains of guidance, approaches, frameworks for use of this evidence in PHEs; and summarise the key evidence gaps and the challenges and enablers that support production and use of social and behavioural evidence for community protection in health emergencies.
