abstract: 'Background: The use of process evaluations is a growing area of interest

  in research groups working on complex interventions. This methodology

  tries to understand how the intervention was implemented to inform

  policy and practice. A recent systematic review by Liu et al. on process

  evaluations of complex interventions addressing non-communicable

  diseases found few studies in low- and middle- income countries (LMIC)

  because it was restricted to randomized controlled trials, primary

  healthcare level and non-communicable diseases. Yet, LMICs face

  different barriers to implement interventions in comparison to

  high-income countries such as limited human resources, access to health

  care and skills of health workers to treat chronic conditions especially

  at primary health care level. Therefore, understanding the challenges of

  interventions for non-communicable diseases and neglected tropical

  diseases (diseases that affect poor populations and have chronic

  sequelae) will be important to improve how process evaluation is

  designed, conducted and used in research projects in LMICs. For these

  reasons, in comparison to the study of Liu et al., the current study

  will expand the search strategy to include different study designs,

  languages and settings.

  Objective: Map research using process evaluation in the areas of

  non-communicable diseases and neglected tropical diseases to inform the

  gaps in the design and conduct of this type of research in LMICs.

  Methods: Scoping review of process evaluation studies of randomized

  controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs of complex interventions

  implemented in LMICs including participants with non-communicable

  diseases or neglected tropical diseases and their health care providers

  (physicians, nurses, technicians and others) related to achieve better

  health for all through reforms in universal coverage, public policy,

  service delivery and leadership. The aspects that will be evaluated are

  as follows: (i) available evidence of process evaluation in the areas of

  non-communicable diseases and neglected tropical diseases such as

  frameworks and theories, (ii) methods applied to conduct process

  evaluations and (iii) gaps between the design of the intervention and

  its implementation that were identified through the process evaluation.

  Studies published from January 2008. Exclusion criteria are as follows:

  not peer reviewed articles, not a report based on empirical research,

  not reported in English or Spanish or Portuguese or French, reviews and

  non-human research.

  Discussion: This scoping review will map the evidence of process

  evaluations conducted in LMICs. It will also identify the methods they

  used to collect and interpret data, how different theories and

  frameworks were used and lessons from the implementation of complex

  interventions. This information will allow researchers to conduct better

  process evaluations considering special characteristics from countries

  with limited human resources, scarce data available and limited access

  to health care.'
