Systematic reviews focusing on community engagement in clinical trials conducted over the past decade have not identified and synthesised barriers, facilitators, and strategies for successful community engagement, specifically in infectious disease clinical trials, LMIC settings, or both.
This publication is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (qualitative). The objectives are as follows:
- To identify and synthesise barriers and facilitators of successful community engagement in infectious disease clinical trials (e.g. HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria) in low‐ and middle‐income countries; and
- To identify and synthesise strategies for engaging community stakeholders in infectious disease clinical trials in low‐ and middle‐income countries.
