Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program for Food-Insecure Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Pilot Study

Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program for Food-Insecure Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Pilot Study

This pilot study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and acceptability of a 6-month produce prescription program for food-insecure pediatric and young adult kidney transplant recipients. While the intervention was found to be safe and highly acceptable, the study noted that fruit and vegetable intake did not significantly increase over the course of the program.

HNH Insight

The study highlights that while produce prescription programs are feasible in clinical settings for vulnerable populations, they may require additional behavioral or educational support to effectively drive changes in dietary intake.
