This is the protocol for a scoping review that aims to systematically explore and summarise the published evidence of violations of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes (the Code) and subsequent World Health Assembly Resolutions globally. The planned scoping review will seek to identify what research has been conducted on the topic, examine the geographic spread and nature of violations, and summarise knowledge gaps. The Code was adopted in 1981 by the World Health Assembly to protect infant health, in particular from aggressive and inappropriate marketing of breastmilk substitutes including formula and related products. Non-compliance with the Code or violations are described in reports, however, no existing systematic review of the global research appears to have been conducted that encompasses the varied disciplines including health, economics, and gender. The review will inform international and national decision-makers on the nature of violations and potentially highlight the need for new modalities to regulate this marketing. The proposed scoping review will use the six-step process of Arksey and O'Malley which includes defining the research question; identifying the relevant literature; selecting studies; charting the data; collating, summarising and reporting the findings; and will include a consultative group.
这是一项范围综述的方案，旨在系统地探索和总结全球范围内违反国际母乳代用品销售守则（以下简称《守则》）和世界卫生大会后续决议的已发表证据。该计划中的范围综述将试图确定在该主题上进行了哪些研究，检查违规行为的地理分布和性质，并总结知识空白。《守则》于 1981 年由世界卫生大会通过，旨在保护婴儿健康，特别是防止母乳代用品（包括配方奶粉和相关产品）的激进和不当营销。违反《守则》或违规行为在报告中有所描述，但是，似乎没有对包括健康、经济和性别等不同学科的全球研究进行现有的系统综述。该综述将为国际和国家决策者提供有关违规性质的信息，并可能突出需要新的模式来规范这种营销。拟议的范围综述将使用 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的六步流程，包括定义研究问题；确定相关文献；选择研究；制定数据图表；整理、总结和报告研究结果；并将包括一个咨询小组。
