Abstrakt: Background: There is little known about nutrition intervention research involving consumer co‐design. The aim of this scoping review was to identify and synthesise the existing evidence on the current use and extent of consumer co‐design in nutrition interventions. Methods: This scoping review is in line with the methodological framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley and refined by the Joanna Briggs Institute using an adapted 2weekSR approach. We searched Medline, EMBASE, PsycInfo, CINAHL and Cochrane. Only studies that included consumers in the co‐design and met the 'Collaborate' or 'Empower' levels of the International Association of Public Participation's Public Participation Spectrum were included. Studies were synthesised according to two main concepts: (1) co‐design for (2) nutrition interventions. Results: The initial search yielded 8157 articles, of which 19 studies were included (comprising 29 articles). The studies represented a range of intervention types and participants from seven countries. Sixteen studies were published in the past 5 years. Co‐design was most often used for intervention development, and only two studies reported a partnership with consumers across all stages of research. Overall, consumer involvement was not well documented. No preferred co‐design framework or approach was reported across the various studies. Conclusions: Consumer co‐design for nutrition interventions has become more frequent in recent years, but genuine partnerships with consumers across all stages of nutrition intervention research remain uncommon. There is an opportunity to improve the reporting of consumer involvement in co‐design and enable equal partnerships with consumers in nutrition research. Key points: Of the approximately 5000 abstracts screened, only 19 studies met the criteria of co‐design at the 'Collaborate' or 'Empower' levels of Public Participation (IAP2 Public Participation Specturm), and there is high variability in co‐design approaches and definitions within health research.Similarly, there is no singular co‐design framework or theoretical approach that is commonly used, although intervention mapping and integrated knowledge translation approaches were most common.Co‐designing dietary interventions typically occurs after a research question and direction has already been predetermined, and often, researchers 'overrule' consumers' recommendations and decisions.Our scoping review included a consumer as a co‐author, which was a strength of this paper. Based on our consumer co‐author's recommendation, we developed an 'ideal co‐design' checklist to capture key elements of co‐design that should be considered in research projects – about one quarter of included studies met all or most of these elements.Although co‐design for dietary interventions has become more common in the past 5 years, consumers are rarely engaged across the entire research process, which could help improve research impact and reduce research waste.
