Summary
This pilot study tested a program called THRIVE in 80 Black adults with high blood pressure. Participants received personalized dietitian coaching, culturally tailored messages, free produce from a mobile market, and help connecting to social services. The goal was to see if this approach could improve their diet and was practical to run. The study compared this group to another that only got standard produce bags and social service links.
