Qualitative Analysis of a Home-Delivered Produce Prescription Intervention to Improve Food and Nutrition Security.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objective: In total, 17.9% of households with children experienced food insecurity (FI) in 2023. Produce prescription interventions (PRx) are a viable intervention to address FI and improve diet quality. Few studies have explored home-delivered PRxs in children. The objective of this qualitative study is to explore the experience of a novel PRx among families with young children in households at risk of experiencing FI and diet-related chronic disease. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with caretakers after the completion of a 12-month PRx. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify emergent themes. Univariate descriptive statistics were used to describe baseline demographics. Results: Twenty-five
