Reducing Stigma and Supporting Health: A Rapid Evidence Assessment of Healthcare-Community Food Aid Partnerships

A rapid evidence assessment of 20 academic papers that record health or social outcomes of healthcare-community food aid partnerships. Collaborative interventions between these two sectors demonstrate increased fruit and vegetable consumption, improved dietary quality, supported disease management, reduced emergency visits, enhanced mental health, and reduced food insecurity. Evidence also demonstrates increased satisfaction and reduced stigma with aid received in healthcare settings.This document was produced as an assignment for the FPM001 Food and Public Policy module undertaken at the Centre for Food Policy, City St Georges, University of London.

本研究针对20篇记录医疗-社区粮食援助合作项目健康与社会结局的学术论文开展快速证据评估。医疗与社区两大部门间的协作干预措施可提升果蔬摄入量、优化膳食质量、辅助疾病管理、减少急诊就诊次数、改善心理健康状况，并降低粮食不安全风险。研究证据同时显示，在医疗场景中接受援助的群体满意度有所提升，且对所获援助的耻辱感有所降低。本报告为伦敦大学圣乔治城市校区粮食政策研究中心开设的FPM001《粮食与公共政策》课程结课作业，撰写旨在契合课程评分标准与学习目标。
