- The GoFreshRx randomized trial tested DASH-patterned groceries on Black adults with hypertension actively receiving treatment.
- Participants were randomized to 12 weeks of weekly home-delivered DASH groceries with dietitian counseling or to receiving financial stipends.
- The primary outcome was systolic blood pressure (SBP) change at 3 months, showing a greater reduction in the DASH group (-7.0 mmHg) compared to the control group (-2.0 mmHg).
- Secondary outcomes included diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and LDL-c, both of which also showed greater improvements in the DASH group.
- Beneficial effects on blood pressure were partially maintained 3 months after the intervention ended.
- The study suggests that nutrient-targeted grocery ordering can improve long-term cardiometabolic health in this population.
