Interventions

  • Resource information Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants randomized to the resource referral arm will receive a tailored list of information about community resources. The list will include information about local emergency food resources (e.g. local food pantries) and government programs to address FI (e.g. SNAP).
  • community health worker (CHW) — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants randomized to the CHW intervention will have an initial baseline visit scheduled at a mutually convenient location.
  • medically tailored meals — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will receive 10 medically tailored meals delivery to their home weekly for 3 months

Study Details

In the US, 47% of adults have hypertension (HTN), and HTN accounts for more cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths than any other CVD risk factor. Thus, the lack of an adaptive, stepped-care intervention to address FI in patients with HTN is a critical problem affecting a large, vulnerable population.
