Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Food Insecurity
In brief
The produce prescription program is one type of food is medicine (FIM) programs, where healthcare providers "prescribe" fruits and vegetables (F\&V) to patients with low household incomes, experience food insecurity, and one or more diet-related diseases.
