Inclusion and exclusion criteria.

DIMENSION	INCLUSION CRITERIA	EXCLUSION CRITERIA
Type of studies	Empirical studies published in any language for scientific papers, and in English, French or also Italian for grey literature	Studies with a narrow challenge found only in a specific local area and abstracts of conferences without a follow-up full text were excluded
Period of publications	Initially, published between January 2003 and March 2019. Extended to February 2021	—
Target population and area	Linked with target populations: all or major groups in the population (e.g., seniors, families, residents of social-housing complexes) and vulnerable or marginalized (material or social disadvantages) populations within specific territories. Large population groups were also considered (e.g., the elderly, vulnerable families, the disadvantaged, marginalized populations with complex problems, etc.)	Papers related to specific needs of a limited population were excluded, as these studies often focused on specific issues that might not have represented an approach that could be generalized across a population (e.g., retired soldiers living with posttraumatic stress disorder in a specific neighborhood).
Type of intervention	Integrated community health and social care with the potential for universal, population-level outreach (available and accessible to all in a specific local geographic area).	—
Intervention leadership	Deployed by public health-care and social-care networks, with or without the collaboration of the community, other institutions, or private partners	Interventions deployed by the community or private sector
