Abstract

Food prescription programming targeting Medicaid-insured patients may reduce ED utilization, particularly among those without severe comorbidity. Retrospective data collection and sample homogeneity reduced the quality of evidence, but results offer a pragmatic example that can be replicated for further study. Additional research is needed to strengthen the body of evidence and support cross-sector investment in food and produce prescription programming.
