Summary

This study tests whether giving people access to healthy foods, personalized dietitian coaching, and a home blood pressure monitor can help Black and Hispanic adults with high blood pressure (and often diabetes) get their numbers down. About 100 participants will be randomly assigned to receive these supports or standard care. The goal is to see if this approach lowers blood pressure and improves diet over time.
