 We synthesized evidence on CEIR focused on implementation strategies in occupational therapy. Intentional efforts are needed to collaborate with diverse partners, explore innovative CE activities, produce equitable outputs, and develop multilevel implementation strategies to accelerate the translation of EBIs into practice. Plain-Language Summary: In this review, we synthesize evidence on the contexts, purposes, and operationalization of community-engaged implementation research (CEIR), focusing on implementation strategies in occupational therapy research. We found that current implementation efforts mainly rely on occupational therapy practitioners as community partners and use traditional recruitment methods and community engagement activities. In turn, they develop implementation strategies that mainly target practitioners without comprehensive, multilevel implementation support. We suggest more equitable collaboration with diverse partners to effectively promote the implementation and dissemination of evidence-based interventions in occupational therapy practice.
