Evidence is needed to achieve these outcomes. This evidence is increasingly generated, however, there is variability in practice and little formal guidance on quality standards. To address this gap, we mapped evidence relevant to community protection to inform development of normative guidance. Methods We searched Medline, Web of Science and Google Scholar for peer-reviewed articles published between 2014 and 2024. We searched grey literature through websites and repositories of professional and technical organisations, including UN agencies, international non-governmental agencies, and regional public health bodies, and engaged professional networks by direct request for relevant outputs. Articles were selected using pre-identified inclusion and exclusion criteria. Due to the high volume of inclusions, we used AI-assisted searching for categorisation and descriptive analysis to examine patterns and gaps. Results We identified 5,885 peer reviewed publications. After removing duplicates (n = 186), we retained 1,032 unique records. Of these, 959 (92.2%) related to infectious disease outbreaks, with 901 (87.3%) related to COVID-19. Included publications addressed topics such as risk communication, vaccination and preventive behaviours topics. Fewer publications produced evidence on community engagement, social protection and non-infectious hazards. Survey-based and cross-sectional designs predominated, while qualitative, participatory and community-led approaches were less visible. Limited published guidance, frameworks and pathways for integrating social and behavioural evidence into emergency decision-making was identified. Use of social and behavioural evidence for response operations was described in the grey literature, though often inconsistently documented or project specific. Conclusions Production of social and behavioural research in public health emergencies has expanded, particularly during COVID-19. Establishing quality standards appropriate for emergency contexts, and strengthening mechanisms for evidence curation, synthesis and integration can enable better use of evidence for community-centred emergency preparedness and response.
