Community Pharmacy Produce Prescriptions

Community Pharmacy Produce Prescriptions (CP3): Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Produce Prescription Program in Community Pharmacies

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 31 Aug 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

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.
