Summary

Produce prescription programs (PRx) are promising interventions for improving health outcomes for patients with both type 2 diabetes (T2D) and food insecurity, but uptake has been suboptimal. There is a critical need for scalable, evidence-based implementation strategies for improving PRx uptake and optimizing the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these interventions. This study will co-design and pilot a community health worker (CHW) strategy and test the effectiveness of the strategy compared to PRx participants without a CHW. The overall objective of this study is to test and evaluate a theory-informed, user-centered community health worker (CHW) implementation strategy to improve uptake of a PRx, among Hispanic Medicaid-eligible patients with T2D in Connecticut (CT). CHWs will offer participants personalized support by overcoming barriers and leveraging facilitators to PRx uptake.
