A Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program
A Pilot, 3-arm Randomized Controlled Trial of a Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program for Patients With Type Two Diabetes
Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
120 participants
Jul 26, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Dietary intake of fruits and vegetables (F\&V) is a cornerstone for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, however less than 16% of Hispanic adults consume the recommended number of servings each day. F\&V prescription (F\&V Rx) programs are embedded into clinical settings and provide patients with vouchers to purchase F\&V at local retailers. The proposed study aims to test the effects of a F\&V Rx on diabetes self-management education and support (DSME/S) uptake and retention, dietary intake of F\&V and diet quality, glucose control (hemoglobin A1c), and program implementation outcomes.
