Inclusion and exclusion criteria.
| DIMENSION | INCLUSION CRITERIA | EXCLUSION CRITERIA |
|---|---|---|
| Type of studies | Empirical studies published in any language for scientific papers, and in English, French or also Italian for grey literature | Studies with a narrow challenge found only in a specific local area and abstracts of conferences without a follow-up full text were excluded |
| Period of publications | Initially, published between January 2003 and March 2019. Extended to February 2021 | — |
| Target population and area | Linked with target populations: all or major groups in the population (e.g., seniors, families, residents of social-housing complexes) and vulnerable or marginalized (material or social disadvantages) populations within specific territories. Large population groups were also considered (e.g., the elderly, vulnerable families, the disadvantaged, marginalized populations with complex problems, etc.) | Papers related to specific needs of a limited population were excluded, as these studies often focused on specific issues that might not have represented an approach that could be generalized across a population (e.g., retired soldiers living with posttraumatic stress disorder in a specific neighborhood). |
| Type of intervention | Integrated community health and social care with the potential for universal, population-level outreach (available and accessible to all in a specific local geographic area). | — |
| Intervention leadership | Deployed by public health-care and social-care networks, with or without the collaboration of the community, other institutions, or private partners | Interventions deployed by the community or private sector |
