Barriers and facilitators to implementing Food is Medicine programs: Evidence from 21 food bank-healthcare partnerships.
Article in Translational behavioral medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFood is Medicine (FIM) programs identify people experiencing food insecurity and diet-related chronic disease and connect them with nutritious foods. Food banks and healthcare partners are well positioned to deliver FIM programs; however, there is limited knowledge about factors that influence FIM program implementation in this context. PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to understand barriers and facilitators to FIM program implementation within food bank-healthcare partnerships in diverse US settings.
methodsA phenomenological study using semi-structured interviews was conducted with 21 programmatically and contextually diverse Food as Medicine 3.0 (FAM3) grantees, including food bank leads and some healthcare partners. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) 2.0 informed interview guide development, coding, and interpretation. Interviews and the analysis were completed by a team of trained researchers following best practices. Data was analyzed using Dedoose (version 9.2.12).
resultsFifty participants across 21 FAM3 grantees engaged in an interview. Most grantees shared challenges related to initiating and maintaining the healthcare partnerships needed for FIM programs. The tracking, gathering, and/or sharing of FIM program implementation and evaluation data was another primary challenge. Furthermore, limited healthcare and food bank staff capacity to carry out FIM programs was another prominent barrier. Despite these challenges, FIM programs were considered adaptable, testable, and to meet a core need among neighbors, all of which were implementation facilitators.
conclusionsResults of this study inform the need to design and test implementation strategies to overcome barriers to the implementation of a promising food bank-healthcare partnership model for FIM.
