What this Trial Is About
Social Prescribing (SP), or Social Henvisning (SH) in Denmark, integrates healthcare with social and cultural services to address social determinants of health. The 'Social Prescribing Vesterbro-Sydhavnen' initiative, launched in fall 2024 as part of usual care, aims to involve general practitioners (GP) as primary prescribers to social services through a dedicated link worker, enhancing early intervention and connecting healthcare with community support. This evaluation aims to assess the effectiveness of the 'Social Prescribing Vesterbro-Sydhavnen' project as part of the Implementation Research Programme SHINE. The primary outcomes are: changes in contacts with general practice, unplanned hospital contacts and emergency calls (1813) as well as change in patients' perception of loneliness and health-related Quality of life.
