A randomized controlled study comparing three food prescription programs for older adults: program design, implementation, and utilization
This study compared the utilization of three different food prescription interventions for older adults, including delivered meal kits and produce prescriptions. Researchers found that delivery-based programs resulted in higher redemption rates compared to mobile market-based models, suggesting that accessibility is a primary barrier to program success.
