Barriers and facilitators to implementing a pilot produce prescription program in a community health setting in Toronto, Canada

This study, guided by the CFIR, revealed valuable insights into the barriers and facilitators that may influence the implementation of a PRx program in community health settings. Study findings emphasize the importance of team-based care to ensure program adaptability and support a person-centered approach. Identifying key champions within primary care teams is needed to strengthen referral pathways and communication with program providers. Future PRx programs may consider incorporating opportunities for knowledge sharing with participants and community-building activities to address important needs related to social connection, community belonging, and mental health.

Abstract

This study, guided by the CFIR, revealed valuable insights into the barriers and facilitators that may influence the implementation of a PRx program in community health settings. Study findings emphasize the importance of team-based care to ensure program adaptability and support a person-centered approach. Identifying key champions within primary care teams is needed to strengthen referral pathways and communication with program providers. Future PRx programs may consider incorporating opportunities for knowledge sharing with participants and community-building activities to address important needs related to social connection, community belonging, and mental health.
