Therefore, the effectiveness of a fruit and vegetable voucher scheme coupled with key \u2018five\u2010a\u2010day\u2019 consumption messages as a brief intervention in primary care consultations was assessed in the present study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>One thousand one hundred and eighty\u2010eight vouchers as a prescription for fruits and vegetables were routinely distributed to patients attending a primary healthcare centre in a deprived area, and 124 volunteer patients routinely attending the centre were included. Telephone\u2010based questionnaires were used to examine changes in consumption over the short and medium term. Other key aspects assessed in the evaluation related to fruit and vegetable purchasing behaviour, knowledge relating to what constitutes a portion size, the relationship between food and health, and barriers to consumption.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although 76.2% of participants used the prescription vouchers when purchasing fruits and vegetables, a significant change in the consumption or purchasing behaviour was not observed (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&gt;\u00a00.05). Participants' level of knowledge relating to the number of portions recommended and the portion size of different fruits and vegetables showed a moderate increase from baseline over the short and medium term. The primary barriers to fruit and vegetable consumption were reported as \u2018the quality of fresh fruits and vegetables\u2019 and \u2018the money available to spend on food\u2019.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The use of \u2018the fruit and vegetable on prescription\u2019 scheme was an effective method of engaging participants in improving awareness of key diet\u2010related health messages.
