What makes Social Prescribing easy or hard in different areas of Europe?

In parallel to the Randomised Controlled Study (RCT), we will explore enabling and disabling factors to implement Social Prescribing (SP) in many European countries, namely in the comparative qualitative study. The comparative qualitative study (also called “qualitative analysis”) will be conducted in five European countries that are at different stages regarding the implementation of SP – from no implementation to full implementation (Austria, Germany, Poland, Portugal, and the UK).

Finally, the results from the trial and comparative qualitative study will be discussed with representatives of people in vulnerable situations, service providers, and policy makers to develop sustainable policy concepts and prepare the exploitation of SP-EU to achieve the best possible impact.
