Financial well-being advice delivered within the context of social prescribing in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Review in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The disparity between income and rising prices has pushed many households across the UK into poverty. Social prescribing has the potential to support individuals to improve their financial well-being and address socioeconomic factors that are negatively impacting their health and well-being, an approach that is supported by the National Framework for Social Prescribing. However, little is currently known about the provision of such support within the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Methods: A scoping review was conducted to explore financial well-being advice and support, delivered within the context of social prescribing in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Keywords were combined into search strings using Boolean operators to search five electronic databases between 04/02/2025 and 10/02/25. Results: The full text of 126 articles were screened, resulting in the inclusion of 28 articles in the review (15 x peer-reviewed articles and 13 x grey literature articles). Discussion: From the literature, we identified three models of financial well-being advice and support within social prescribing: a social prescribing practitioner-led model, a specialist advisor-led model, and a wraparound model. Most articles related to financial well-being advice and support targeted at welfare benefits, debt and legal issues, delivered by specialist advisors co-located in healthcare settings. The delivery of targeted support in this manner was reported as having a number of positive outcomes for patients and healthcare staff, and several strategies were identified to increase the efficacy of such support. Few articles reported on the social prescribing practitioner-led model of delivery of financial well-being advice and support. For those that did, direct support was provided out of necessity due to a lack of availability of specialist advisors in the community, which negatively impacted capacity. While there is potential for social prescribing to play a more integral role in the delivery of financial well-being advice and support and support, further research is required to ensure the efficacious employment of funding and delivery, which may differ across nations and regions.
