Summary

This study tests whether a program using church-based health coaches can help rural Black adults with slightly high blood pressure lower it. Participants from 30 churches in Alabama will get health education and online cooking and exercise classes. Half will also get a health coach and funds for healthy food and activities. The goal is to see if this approach can prevent high blood pressure and be used in other communities.
