Food insecurity (FI) is a growing health problem, worsening during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fresh food prescription programs (FFRx) have been shown to increase healthy eating and decrease FI, but few FFRx are community-informed, or theory based. Our FFRx was a delivery program developed to alleviate FI for older adults. It was implemented in an academic medical center and guided by the Capabilities, Opportunities, Motivations, and Behaviors and Theoretical Domains Framework. We tested impacts of the program on FI, Fruit and Vegetable (FV) intake, depression, and loneliness at six-month intervals. During the FFRx, 31 people completed surveys every six months. FI decreased by an average of 2.03 points ( = <.001) while FV intake increased from a mean of 2.8 servings per day to 2.9 servings per day ( = .53). Depression and loneliness scores stayed stable. Preliminary data from this FFRx program, a partnership between an academic medical center and community partners, had positive impacts on FI.
食品不安全（FI）是一个日益严重的健康问题，在 COVID-19 大流行期间恶化。新鲜食品处方计划（FFRx）已被证明可以增加健康饮食和减少 FI，但很少有 FFRx 是社区知情的，或基于理论的。我们的 FFRx 是为缓解老年人 FI 而开发的一种交付计划。它在学术医疗中心实施，并由能力、机会、动机和行为以及理论领域框架指导。我们测试了该计划对 FI、水果和蔬菜（FV）摄入量、抑郁和孤独感的影响，间隔六个月进行一次。在 FFRx 期间，31 人每六个月完成一次调查。FI 平均下降了 2.03 分（ < .001），而 FV 摄入量从每天 2.8 份增加到每天 2.9 份（ = .53）。抑郁和孤独感评分保持稳定。这项 FFRx 计划的初步数据来自学术医疗中心和社区合作伙伴之间的合作，对 FI 产生了积极影响。
