Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week program of home-delivered DASH-diet groceries and cooking classes can help adults with high blood pressure and obesity lower their blood pressure and lose weight. 150 participants will be randomly assigned to either the food program or usual care. The study also looks at whether such a program could be used widely in the community.
