Public Health Science Communication in Bolivia: Entanglements with Traditional Practices in a Pluricultural Environment – A Scoping Review Protocol

This study examines the dynamics of science communication in Bolivia, a pluricultural society where modern scientific practices intersect with deeply rooted traditional knowledge systems. Framed within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it explores how public health communication strategies integrated indigenous practices, cultural beliefs, and scientific expertise to address a global health crisis in a localized and culturally sensitive manner. This document outlines a systematic review protocol based on PRISMA-ScR, emphasizing the inclusion of grey literature to capture the nuances of Bolivia’s public health communication strategies.
