Examining the Impact of Medically Tailored Meals vs Produce Supplements Delivered Conditionally vs Not on Health Engagement and Health Outcomes Among Patients With Heart Failure
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Medically Tailored Meals Delivered Conditionally, Medically Tailored Meals Delivered Unconditionally, and 2 other interventions for Heart Failure. Completed, enrolled 150 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The current study proposes to investigate if the provision of healthy food can improve outcomes following discharge after HF hospitalization. To investigate this in an efficient and pragmatic manner, a factorial randomized control trial design will be utilized to simultaneously investigate two separate, important food-related questions: * Does the provision of 90 days of either medically-tailored meals or fresh produce boxes improve 90-day patient outcomes among those with HF relative to a control group not receiving food supplements and instead receiving an equivalent monetary supplement? * Does receipt of the supplement in a conditional fashion, where the supplement is continued only if the participant attends follow-up visits or fills prescribed medications at the pharmacy, have more impact than providing unconditional supplementation?

Interventions
Season Health, our food intervention partner, will provide participants with weekly deliveries of twice-daily prepared medically tailored meals (MTM). Participants will receive this supplement conditioned on continued participation and engagement in their healthcare, including attending all scheduled office visits and refilling prescription medications. If participants do not refill their prescriptions or do not attend their office visits, the shipments of medically tailored meals will be paused. These will be restarted when the participant's appointment is rescheduled or when the participant's prescription is refilled.
