Summary

This trial aims to study if a 12-week program called RN-CHeFRx can help Black women with hypertension and obesity improve their eating habits and control their blood pressure. The program includes grocery delivery

Who is the study for?
This trial is for African-American breast cancer survivors who are dealing with obesity and high blood pressure. It aims to help them improve their eating habits and manage blood pressure through a 12-week program involving grocery delivery, cooking classes, and nutrition education.
What is being tested?
The RN-CHeFRx intervention being tested includes three components: the delivery of groceries to participants' homes, cooking classes designed to teach healthy meal preparation, and educational sessions on nutrition. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and well-received by the participants.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on lifestyle modifications rather than medication or medical procedures, there are no direct side effects from interventions like drugs. However, changes in diet and new foods introduced during the program may affect individual digestive systems differently.
