Practice-based case studies are a form of experiential evidence typically presented in the form of a narrative or practice story about implementation in a specific context [32, 33]. Synthesis of multiple case studies can help identify key processes and factors influencing implementation across different settings or projects [34, 35]. Synthesis methods draw on qualitative research traditions for handling case study sources [34, 36]. For this study, we used a systematic staged approach for synthesis of practice-based case studies, originally developed for the What Works Centre for Wellbeing [37]. This approach provides a transparent and logical method in seven stages (Table 1) and has been adapted for other analyses of community engagement in the pandemic [38].
