Community Pharmacy Produce Prescriptions
Sponsor: Tufts University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to generate evidence on the feasibility and effectiveness of community pharmacies as the implementers of a produce prescription program for adults with diabetes and/or hypertension. The main question this study plans to answer is if using community pharmacies as a point-of-service for improving nutrition and health is feasible and effective. The trial also explores the impact of the program on food security, nutrition security, diet quality and health and patient centered outcomes. Participants will be enrolled in a produce prescription program to purchase healthy foods at the grocery store where they are currently receiving their pharmacy services. Participants will be asked to attend pharmacy visits to collect biometrics at two different time points and complete electronic surveys at three different time points.

Interventions
Produce Prescription
Each month, participants will receive a fixed amount of funds on the PRx card. Participants will be able to use these funds to purchase fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, nut butters, seeds, plant-based oils, seafood, and yogurts from participating grocery stores. These funds will be provided through an electronic PRx benefit card that is activated after the initial baseline in-person visit is completed. The card will be reloaded monthly for a period of 6 months.
Nutrition Education
Participating pharmacies/grocery chains will have Registered Dietitians (RD/RDN) on staff who can provide participants with nutrition education programs, coaching, and/or nudges.
