What is being tested?

The study is testing enhanced strategies for implementing produce prescriptions, which allow healthcare providers to prescribe subsidized vegetables to patients lacking access to nutritious foods. The effectiveness of these new methods will be evaluated.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves implementation strategies rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects aren't applicable. However, there may be challenges related to the adoption and acceptability of the program among healthcare providers.

What aims are foremost in this medical study?

"This monitored study is primarily being conducted to assess participant engagement with the Produce Prescription Program Questionnaire. Its secondary aims include ascertaining how many patients sign up for produce prescriptions, measuring food security via a 6-item United States Department of Agriculture measure (scores range from 0 - 6, lower scores indicating more food security) and utilizing a 2-item Patient Health Questionnaire to screen for depression (responses ranging from 0 [not at all] to 3 [nearly every day], higher numbers suggesting major depressive disorder)."
