Engaging people with lived experiences on community advisory boards in community-based participatory research: a scoping review protocol.

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a collaborative research approach that equally engages researchers and community stakeholders throughout all steps of the research process to facilitate social change and increase research relevance. Community advisory boards (CABs) are a CBPR tool in which individuals with lived experience and community organisations are integrated into the research process and ensure the work aligns with community priorities. We seek to (1) explore the best practices for the recruitment and engagement of people with lived experiences on CABs and (2) identify the scope of literature on minimising power dynamics between organisations and community members with lived experience who work on CABs together. This scoping review will follow the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework, informed by Levac Formal ethics approval is not required for this review. Review findings will inform ongoing and future CBPR community advisory board dynamics. The protocol has been registered prospectively on the Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/QF5D3).
