Summary

This study tested a tool called HealtheRx, which gives African American patients in rural North Carolina a personalized list of local resources for food, housing, transportation, and more. The goal was to see if this information helps patients feel more confident finding and using community resources to manage their heart health. Over 300 participants received the HealtheRx and could also talk to a community resource navigator for extra support.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: HealtheRx (personalized list of community resources)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could show that connecting patients with local resources like food and housing support improves their confidence and heart health.
What could go wrong: This was a small, single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may not be due to the intervention alone. It also only measured confidence, not actual health outcomes.
