This is a scoping review of 366 natural experiment evaluations (NEEs) of place-based public health interventions, identified through a systematic search of three databases in January 2020. A key focus was assessing the plausibility of the 'as-if' randomization assumption; 42% of NEEs had likely or probable as-if randomization, while 25% were deemed implausible. An inter-rater reliability exercise indicated poor agreement on this assessment.
