The Iowa Produce Prescription Program advances health equity by transforming the healthcare system’s role to increase access to affordable, nutritious food that can improve the overall health of patients and their family members. Dr. Buckingham-Schutt's lab supports the outcome and implementation evaluation for the program in partnership with Iowa Healthiest State Initiative. Our team is interested in exploring new ways to leverage individual level behavior change into produce prescription programs and evaluating clinically relevant outcomes for people with diet-related chronic conditions.
