Participant Redemption and Engagement in Produce Prescription Programs: A Qualitative Analysis of Implementer Perspectives.
Article in Current developments in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Produce prescription programs are a type of Food is Medicine (FIM) strategy to address food and nutrition insecurity and promote health among patients. Although produce prescription programs can be effective at improving health (e.g., reduce hemoglobin A1c), program designs tend to be highly heterogeneous, and the degree to which participants engage with the programs and redeem prescriptions varies widely. Objectives: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore produce prescription programs design and implementation practices for promoting fruit and vegetable prescription redemption and participant engagement using an implementation science framework. Methods: Interview guide development followed the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) Framework. We conducted 60-min semistructured interviews with Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program produce prescription program leads ( Results: We identified 16 relevant themes. These themes centered around ensuring programmatic fit to the participants and the setting, especially addressing access barriers, partnerships and staffing, added services provided, and systems for program monitoring and for participant navigation and communication. Conclusions: This study helps elucidate further about produce prescription program characteristics that may influence prescription redemption and engagement. These qualitative findings can help provide evidence to current program implementers and future researchers of the best practices for produce prescription programs and FIM interventions overall.
