Summary
This study tests whether delivering healthy DASH-diet groceries and dietitian support to people with high blood pressure in Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee can lower their blood pressure. About 150 adults with elevated blood pressure will receive all their groceries for 4 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach helps control hypertension.
