These two boroughs have high rates of poverty, chronic diseases, and health inequalities. Weekly vouchers to spend on their choice of fruits and vegetables at local markets are given to 122 low-income individuals who either have or are at increased risk for chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or mental health conditions. Tower Hamlets participants can also attend monthly group education sessions to learn more about nutrition and health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outcomes that are being measured include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The quantity and variety of fruits and vegetables consumed on a daily basis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Self-reported effect on overall diet and activity levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes to health and well-being<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doctor visits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Impact on the broader household.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How they do it: <\/strong>Participants are identified by staff at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbbc.org.uk\/\">Bromley by Bow Centre<\/a> in Tower Hamlets and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atbeaconproject.org\/\">Beacon Project<\/a> in Lambeth, two organizations that connect community members to health and social services. In Tower Hamlet, participants receive \u00a36 ($7.30) per week plus \u00a32 ($2.43) for each additional family member, and vouchers can be used at retailers on Roman Road and the <a href=\"https:\/\/poplarlondon.co.uk\/chrisp-street-market-history\/\">Chrisp Street Market<\/a>. In Lambeth, participants receive \u00a38 ($9.73) per week plus \u00a32 for each family additional member, and they can use their vouchers at retailers in West Norwood, Streatham, and Brixton Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mission:<\/strong> To examine the impact of a fruit and vegetable prescription program on diet-related diseases and food insecurity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Major Funding: <\/strong>The London Borough of Lambeth Public Health team, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Public Health team, <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanhealth.org.uk\/\">Impact on Urban Health<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Profit\/nonprofit: <\/strong>Nonprofit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Annual Budget:<\/strong> \u00a3250,000 (equivalent to $304,814.75)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interesting fact about how it is working to positively affect health: <\/strong>The program is thought to be the first large-scale produce prescription program in the UK.
