    Abstract Objective: To examine Fruit and Vegetable Prescription (FVRx) Program participants' and nonparticipants' experiences and perceptions of farm direct (FD) settings.
    Design: Multiple-case study of adults with low income from 3 study groups: (1) FVRx intervention (produce prescription, nutrition education [NE], financial literacy education, health screening), (2) NE only, and (3) control (standard health care). Participant interviews with each group at baseline and 6 months.
    Setting: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) eligible adults from 3 Georgia counties.
    Participants: A total of 46 adults with ≥ 1 diet-related condition.
    Phenomena of interest: Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program participant and nonparticipant experiences and perceptions of FD settings.
    Analysis: Constant comparative methods and thematic analysis of qualitative interview data across groups.
    Findings: Two main themes emerged: (1) baseline FD setting experiences and perceptions and (2) divergent experiences and perceptions with FD settings postintervention. Participants across each group employed price-conscious food purchasing practices because of limited food budgets, limiting local food access. Combining produce prescription, NE, and farmers' market access enhanced FVRx participant associations with FD settings to reinforce motivation for accessing and purchasing fruits and vegetables beyond program participation.
    Conclusions and implications: Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Programs reduce multiple barriers to participating in FD settings compared with NE or standard health care alone.

    Abstract Objective: To understand the design and implementation models of US produce prescription programs.
    Methods: In a mixed-methods study, program providers completed an online survey and an individual phone interview regarding their 2019 programming.
    Results: Twenty-three programs completed surveys; 20 completed interviews. Program locations included the mid-Atlantic (26%), Northeast (9%), Midwest (30%), Southwest (17%), and Western regions (17%). Although program models varied, programs generally included a health care visit, usually at a safety-net clinic, and nutrition education, typically counseling, advice, or classes. Prescriptions tended to be farmers market vouchers worth a median of $15 a week (interquartile range, $7.81-$20.00). Transportation was a problem for nearly half of the programs.
    Conclusions and implications: Current produce prescription program characteristics and operations can serve as a blueprint for new and existing programs. Future research should determine program best practices and the opportunity cost between program standardization and local flexibilities.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this paper is to describe a participant-driven, online text message-based social support network that emerged from an eLearning nutrition education and supplemental produce intervention.
    Methods: Adults (n = 20) who utilized a safety-net clinic for their healthcare participated in a 12-week smartphone-based nutrition education eLearning program using loaned smartphones. Participants also received a box of fresh produce weekly. Participants received weekly text message reminders to collect their produce, and from this researcher-initiated reminder text, a supportive, participant-led, all-group text message thread commenced. Researchers collected all 471 text messages in this all-group thread and included them in the qualitative content analysis of pre and post intervention focus groups.
    Results: The original design of the eLearning nutrition education program was to asynchronously engage learners with nutrition education resources. However, participants themselves initiated a robust group text message support system through which they shared encouragement, recipes, grocery shopping tips, and images of food they prepared with the produce box amongst themselves for the duration of the 12-week intervention.
    Conclusion: The novel nature by which these participants voluntarily engaged in this peer-to-peer nutrition education-focused text message conversation exemplifies participants becoming agents in their own learning experience and will be used to enhance future eLearning nutrition education experiences developed by our team.

    Abstract Chronic conditions associated with lifestyle and modifiable behaviors are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act offers an historic opportunity to consider novel approaches to addressing the nation's public health concerns. We adopt an anticipatory anthropological perspective to consider lifestyle behavior change as common ground shared by practitioners of both biomedicine and common forms of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). At issue is whether CAM practitioners might play a more proactive and publicly endorsed role in delivering preventive and promotive health services to address these needs. Recognizing that this is a contentious issue, we consider two constructive roles for engaged medical anthropologists: (1) as culture brokers helping to facilitate interprofessional communities of preventive and promotive health practice and (2) in collaboration with health service researchers developing patient-near evaluations of preventive and promotive health services on patient well-being and behavior change.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has presented profound disruptions to young people at a critical period of psychosocial development. The current study aimed to explore the perceived negative and positive impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people's mental health and wellbeing across a spectrum of clinical needs. A cross-sectional online survey including both quantitative and qualitative responses captured positive and negative impacts of COVID-19 across 593 young people with and without mental health care needs. Findings revealed high levels of clinical depression (48%), anxiety (51%), and loneliness in both samples. Approximately 75% of young people in primary mental health care services, and over 80% in the general population, reported a negative impact on work, non-work activities and mental health and wellbeing. Open-ended responses reflected positive impacts in the domains of greater capacity for self-care and reflection due to the decreased pressures of daily life. Negative impacts reflected worsening mental health, disruptions to key developmental milestones regarding relationships with self and others, and limited capacity for self-care. Together, these data highlight the critical need for early intervention support for the psychosocial impacts experienced by young people due to the pandemic, particularly among those with existing mental health care needs.

    Abstract We argue that cultural capital plays an underexamined role in students' recognition as budding scientists by faculty. By triangulating interview data from undergraduates and faculty mentors in a multi-institutional biology research network, we identified a set of intersecting domains of capital that help render students recognizable to faculty. We argue that faculty recognition often reflects a (mis)alignment between the cultural capital that students possess and display and what faculty expect to see. To understand why mis- or underrecognition occurs, and how this influenced students' opportunities to further develop cultural capital, we explored our data set for patterns of explanation. Several key themes cut across students' experiences and influenced their recognition by faculty: Faculty more easily recognized students interested in research science trajectories and those involved in institutional programs to support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics success. Students with competing family responsibilities struggled to maintain faculty recognition. Finally, faculty who broadened their scopes of recognition were able to affirm the science identities of students with fewer incoming cultural resources in science and support their development of capital. Students can and do develop scientific cultural capital through practice, but this requires access to research and mentorship that explicitly teaches students the implicit "rules of the game."

    Abstract Adults with low-income often lack access to nutrition education and experience food insecurity, which compromises nutrition-related chronic disease management. Through qualitative interviews, we examined the feasibility of a safety-net clinic based, eLearning nutrition education and supplemental produce program from the perspectives of community-based stakeholders (n = 8). Findings suggest the importance of building collective capacity among existing community resources, balancing resource utilization and workload among the key stakeholder organizations, and considering participant’s motivation to engage in the program. Stakeholder interviewees suggested the program is feasible and could serve as a community-based solution to improve the health and food security of limited-income adults.
