Participants will be invited to meet with the CHW to learn about eating healthier to reduce blood pressure and enhance quantity and quality of life. The CHW will register individuals for SNAP benefits and educate them on how to use their benefits locally. As other resources exist, including food pantries, food distribution events, and Fresh Access Bucks (a federal program to double SNAP if spent on local produce at eligible farmers markets), the CHW will provide information on these services. The CHW will also provide a brief motivational educational session about eating healthier to reduce BP and enhance quality and quantity of life. The CHW will meet once for up to one hour with each participant.
Participants will be invited to complete all the CHW education arm material and be offered a menu of optional services for personalization including: (1) transportation to the grocery store (weekly for 4 weeks), (2) culturally adapted hypertension-tailored cooking recipes, (3) a virtual cooking class with food delivered to their door led by community partner, (4) access to UF IFAS's online library of healthy food cooking videos, and (5) in-store education on food labels, grocery shopping, and food resource management skills through the Cooking Matters at the Store curricula.
