Community-engaged research (CEnR) has potential to advance early home visiting and improve health outcomes for all families by ensuring that research aligns with the needs of the community, methods and procedures are acceptable and accessible, and findings are interpreted accurately and disseminated effectively. We conducted a scoping review to characterize the extent and nature of CEnR in peer-reviewed literature relevant to early home visiting. We searched five scholarly databases for literature published since 2010 describing engagement of community members in research involving evidence-based early home visiting programs. We extracted data on each study's characteristics, community collaborators, and factors, outcomes, and measures of community engagement. We then coded each study for 16 community engagement components and characterized each study along an established continuum of CEnR. Fourteen articles met all eligibility criteria and were characterized as involving community consultation, community participation, or community-based participatory research. No articles were characterized as community initiated or driven. No studies assessed the impact of community engagement, and only two described barriers or facilitators to engagement. CEnR may be underutilized and underreported in peer-reviewed home visiting research. Findings highlight opportunities to build motivation and capacity for CEnR, transparency in CEnR reporting, and evaluation of CEnR process and impacts.
社区参与研究（CEnR）有潜力通过确保研究符合社区需求、方法和程序可接受且易于获取，以及研究结果得到准确解读和有效传播，来推进早期家访并改善所有家庭的健康状况。我们进行了一项范围综述，以描述与早期家访相关的同行评审文献中CEnR的范围和性质。我们在五个学术数据库中搜索了自2010年以来发表的文献，这些文献描述了社区成员参与涉及循证早期家访项目的研究。我们提取了关于每项研究的特征、社区合作者以及社区参与的因素、结果和衡量指标的数据。然后，我们对每项研究的16个社区参与组成部分进行编码，并根据既定的CEnR连续统一体对每项研究进行特征描述。14篇文章符合所有纳入标准，其特征为涉及社区咨询、社区参与或基于社区的参与性研究。没有文章被描述为社区发起或驱动的。没有研究评估社区参与的影响，只有两篇文章描述了参与的障碍或促进因素。在同行评审的家访研究中，CEnR可能未得到充分利用和报道。研究结果突出了建立CEnR的动机和能力、CEnR报告的透明度以及对CEnR过程和影响进行评估的机会。
