Detailed Summary
This Five, Plus Nuts and Beans for Kidneys Study is a single center, randomized controlled trial with 2 parallel arms testing the hypothesis that delivery of nutritional advice to adopt a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-like diet and $30/week worth of fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans tailored to personal choices and availability in neighborhood stores, will reduce kidney damage in African Americans with hypertension and chronic kidney disease.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants assigned to the C-DASH diet advice group will be provided $30/week worth of fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans ordered through the study coach and delivered to a community location to reach a certain goal of potassium intake (months 0-4). During phase 2 of the study (months 5-12), a study coach will continue telephonic contact with the participants to set goals for following a DASH-like diet without the weekly food allowance.
Participants will be given a brochure containing information about the DASH diet which will be reviewed with a study team member. In months 1-4, participants will receive a gift card equivalent to a weekly allowance of $30 to Klein's ShopRite stores of Maryland for purchases of food and beverages of their choice. During phase two (months 5-12), they will be asked to continue following a DASH-like diet but will not receive a gift card for purchases.
