Community empowerment is a core concept
in health promotion theory and practice. Several authors
have defined and conceptualised the term differently.
However, we did not find any synthesis of the various
definitions of, and meanings attached to, community
empowerment and the various conceptualisations,
operationalisations, and the indicators for measuring
community empowerment in the health promotion
literature. The aim of this scoping review is to characterise
and synthesise various definitions, conceptualisations,
operationalisations and indicators for measuring
community empowerment in the literature.
