Identifying social prescribing core outcomes using a Delphi approach: findings and future directions

This study identified seven critical outcomes to consider in evaluations of social prescribing research and interventions. Future investigations should investigate how contextual and personal factors might influence outcomes and identify specific instruments (e.g. questionnaires, performance-based tests) to assess each outcome. Identification of outcomes is a continuous process, requiring regular updates as results may change due the ongoing evolution of social prescribing and other factors.
