Healthy Food First

Socioeconomic barriers to healthy eating, particularly food insecurity, are a major reason for poor blood pressure control and hypertension complications. Healthy diet patterns have been shown to improve health. Unfortunately, food insecurity makes it difficult for individuals to maintain healthy diet patterns. This pragmatic randomized trial will compare two food insecurity interventions (a healthy food subsidy versus a delivered food box), with or without lifestyle support delivered by community health workers, for 6 versus 12 months duration. Key outcomes include blood pressure, food insecurity, and other patient reported outcomes.
