NCT ID NCT07031739
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether providing information about local food resources, help from a community health worker, or medically-tailored meals can improve blood pressure and medication adherence in people with uncontrolled hypertension who also face food insecurity. About 224 participants will be enrolled and followed to see which approach works best. The goal is to find practical ways to support both diet and medication routines.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- information about local food resources, community health worker assistance, and medically-tailored meals
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show which food support strategies best help people with high blood pressure and food insecurity improve their health.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (224 participants) testing behavioral interventions, not a drug. Results may not apply to everyone, and the effect on blood pressure may be modest.
