Indicators and Tools for Social Prescribing Evaluation

Abstract

The Canadian Red Cross (CRC) Community Health Services and its partners are developing a social prescribing intervention to improve health equity-informed care and services. CRC’s intervention will incorporate income support for those who are unhoused or those seeking to move along the housing continuum. The next phase of the project is to develop an implementation plan for the intervention, which will include a process and outcome evaluation plan. CRC approached the McMaster Research Shop to conduct preliminary research to help identify indicators and measurement tools related to the following outcomes of social prescribing.
