SP intervention characteristics and outcomes.

Study Author (Year) [Reference]	Name, Location and Description of Intervention	Co-Produced or/and Co-Designed Approach
Baker and Irving (2016) [31]	Arts-based SP provided from various community venues in North East England to combat problems of isolation and loneliness among and improve the well-being of older people with early onset dementia and depression.	Developed through a collaboration between a Primary Care Trust and Community Arts Organisation.
Blickem et al. (2013) [32]	An online SP referral tool based on community support providers in Greater Manchester, England for people with long term conditions. Intervention was designed to provide well-being, health education, practical support and help with diet and exercise.	The intervention was developed in collaboration with service users. Noralization Process Theory guided the development in a way in which gradual changes were implemented on the bases of feedback at different stages from the patient.
Chesterman and Bray (2018) [33]	Well-being promoting activities provided by voluntary sector organizations in various community venues in Crawley, England.	SP practitioners were recruited as co-researchers to conduct appreciative inquiry interviews with citizens participating in SP activities. Co-researchers analysed interview data with other SP practitioners to decide on further action and subsequently implemented positive change to the SP intervention.
Hassan et al. (2020) [34]	SP provided from The Life Rooms in Liverpool and Sefton, England. SP intervention involves learning opportunities or social support. There are also advice services on housing, debt, employment, or well-being support. Employment and enterprise volunteering support is also available.	Each social prescription is co-produced with service users, carers, partner organisations and staff.
Southby and Gamsu (2018) [35]	Four SP schemes delivered in GP surgeries and VCS organizations centres aimed at improving well-being.	All SP interventions had been developed and were delivered through a collaboration between GPs and VCS organization. The depth of collaboration varied between each case.
Strachan, Wright, and Hancock (2007) [36]	Tailor Made Leisure Package (TMLP) is a SP intervention delivered from the Healthy Living Centre, Scotland. The intervention was developed to encourage disadvantaged groups to embark on an individual program of exercise and relaxation.	The TMLP is a SP co-designed with the service users to meet individual needs and capability.
Swift (2017) [37]	A community-centred approach delivered from community venues in Halton, England to respond more appropriately to social determinants of health. The approach includes a community-navigation scheme, a SP intervention and a social action element that involves recruiting patients who make use of the SP service to co-facilitate sessions with tutors.	The SP intervention was developed through a Theory of Change that was co-designed with stakeholders with a key emphasis on empowering patients. GPs were consulted before launching the intervention to seek their buy-in and establish a referral process. In addition, the SP is co-designed with the service users, and a co-production approach can also be seen within the Social Action element.
Whitelaw et al. (2017) [38]	A link worker working within two GP practices in rural Scotland assesses patients’ health and well-being needs and refers patients to available community resources.	The project was co-developed by a multi-sector Steering Group.
