The Healthy Cities project supports municipal policymakers in the struggle to safeguard the health of urban citizens around the world (and in other limited geographies such as islands). Although Healthy Cities has been implemented in thousands of settings, no synthesis of implementation experiences have been conducted. In this article, we develop a scoping review protocol that can be applied to collect evidence on process evaluations of Healthy Cities.
To develop a scoping review protocol that could identify experiences evaluating the Healthy Cities project, we followed the PRISMA guidelines for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). We applied these guidelines in consultation with a research librarian to design a search of the peer-reviewed literature, specifically Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, and Scopus databases, and a grey literature search.
In addition to the aim of collecting evidence on Healthy Cities process evaluation experiences, the broader goal is to spark discussions and inform future evaluations of Healthy Cities. This work can also inform other evaluations of initiatives seeking to raise socio-political change, such as those focused on enhancing intersectoral and multisectoral action.
健康城市项目支持城市政策制定者为保护世界各地（和其他有限地理区域，如岛屿）城市居民的健康而奋斗。尽管健康城市已经在数千个环境中实施，但尚未对实施经验进行综合分析。在本文中，我们制定了一个范围综述方案，可用于收集有关健康城市项目的过程评估的证据。
为制定能够识别评估健康城市项目经验的范围综述方案，我们遵循了用于范围综述的 PRISMA 指南（PRISMA-ScR）。我们与研究图书馆员协商，应用这些指南设计了对同行评议文献的检索，具体包括 Ovid Medline、Ovid Embase、Web of Science 核心合集和 Scopus 数据库以及灰色文献检索。
除了收集健康城市过程评估经验证据的目的外，更广泛的目标是激发讨论并为未来的健康城市评估提供信息。这项工作还可以为其他寻求提高社会政治变革的倡议的评估提供信息，例如那些专注于加强部门间和多部门行动的倡议。
