The aim of this scoping review is to describe how a public health approach to legal and illegal psychoactive substance use has been previously defined, and to identify its core values, concepts, activities, and goals.
Jurisdictions globally are increasingly endorsing a public health approach to addressing psychoactive substance use. However, there is currently no agreed definition of this approach, and this term has been applied inconsistently in the literature, policy, and practice. A critical first step toward advancing a public health approach to substance use is identifying and articulating its core components.
This review will consider all peer-reviewed and gray literature in English focused on conceptualizing, defining, or describing a public health approach to substance use. Our review does not place limitations on populations, psychoactive substance types, or other contextual factors.
We will search PROSPERO, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Scopus, as well as health and social science databases; websites of prominent nonprofit, civil society, and government agencies/organizations in public health and substance use fields; and reference lists of included articles. Two independent reviewers will screen titles/abstracts of peer-reviewed literature, and 1 reviewer will screen titles/abstracts of gray literature. Two independent reviewers will conduct the full-text screening. A data extraction sheet will be pilot tested through double extraction. Findings will be presented as a narrative summary supported by tables and diagrams and, if feasible, a conceptual framework for understanding and applying a public health approach to substance use.

本范围综述旨在描述公共卫生方法在合法和非法精神活性物质使用方面的先前定义，并确定其核心价值观、概念、活动和目标。
全球司法管辖区越来越多地支持采取公共卫生方法来解决精神活性物质使用问题。然而，目前尚无对此方法的共识定义，而且该术语在文献、政策和实践中应用不一致。朝着采用公共卫生方法解决物质使用问题迈出的关键第一步是确定和阐明其核心要素。
本综述将考虑所有以英语撰写的同行评议文献和灰色文献，重点关注物质使用的公共卫生方法的概念化、定义或描述。我们的综述不对研究人群、精神活性物质类型或其他背景因素施加限制。
我们将在 PROSPERO、MEDLINE、Embase、PsycINFO、Cochrane 图书馆、CINAHL 和 Scopus 以及卫生和社会科学数据库中进行搜索；公共卫生和物质使用领域的知名非营利组织、民间社会和政府机构/组织的网站；以及纳入文章的参考文献列表。两名独立评审员将筛选同行评议文献的标题/摘要，1 名评审员将筛选灰色文献的标题/摘要。两名独立评审员将进行全文筛选。数据提取表将通过双重提取进行试点测试。研究结果将以表格和图表支持的叙述性摘要呈现，并在可行的情况下，提供一个理解和应用物质使用公共卫生方法的概念框架。
