Translating Dietary Trials Into the Community

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypertension

In brief

A diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and low fat dairy foods is known to lower blood pressure in adults. This research project seeks to promote the adoption of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension(DASH)eating pattern by African American adults with hypertension or prehypertension living in a lower income minority community. The randomized trial phase of this project will test a group-based intervention using materials adopted from prior studies and tailored to the community of interest.
