Social prescribing as a tool for integrated care-insights from a cross-sectional study with German general practitioners.

GPs practicing in towns with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants were significantly more likely to adopt SP compared to the reference group (OR = 3.024, CI 1.13–8.13, p = .028), while male GPs showed a trend toward higher adoption, though not reaching statistical significance (OR = 2.114, CI 0.88–5.06, p = .09) (see Supplementary Tables 2, 3 ). 4 Discussion This study demonstrates that while most participants are unfamiliar with the term SP, some are already performing SP-like activities, and there is a strong willingness to implement SP formally.

Male GPs also showed a tendency toward SP adoption, though this did not reach statistical significance and contradicts previous findings ( 23 ).
