Produce Prescription Subsidy for Patients With Diabetes A Pragmatic Randomized Clinical Trial
This study evaluated the impact of a produce prescription program providing $80 in monthly vouchers for fruits, vegetables, and legumes to patients with diabetes and food insecurity. The randomized clinical trial found that the intervention did not result in significant improvements in cardiometabolic health outcomes or healthcare utilization over a 12-month period.
HNH Insight
While many observational studies suggest positive impacts of produce prescriptions, this pragmatic randomized clinical trial highlights the need for more rigorous evidence, as it found no significant clinical benefit for this specific patient population.
