Summary

This study tests whether a 16-week program of group diet coaching and hands-on cooking classes can help Black Americans at risk for chronic kidney disease stick to the low-sodium DASH diet. The program involves 48 participants who either get the coaching and classes right away or after a delay. The goal is to see if the program is practical and well-liked, not yet to prove it prevents kidney disease.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: low-sodium DASH diet coaching and cooking classes
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could offer a practical way to help Black Americans adopt a kidney-friendly diet and lower their risk of chronic kidney disease.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early feasibility study with only 48 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program's long-term impact on kidney health is not yet known.
