NCT ID NCT06784310

Summary

This study tested whether providing healthy food resources to entire families could improve their health. It enrolled 56 low-income families in Kentucky where an adult had high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes and a child had a high weight. Families received medically tailored meals, grocery vouchers, or both to see if better nutrition could improve blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and family stress.
