Trial to Address Food Insecurity in Patients With Hypertension (SMART-FI)

Pilot Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of Using a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial to Address Food Insecurity in Patients With Hypertension (Pilot SMART-FI)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 Aug 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

In the US, 47% of adults have hypertension (HTN), and HTN accounts for more cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths than any other CVD risk factor. Thus, the lack of an adaptive, stepped-care intervention to address FI in patients with HTN is a critical problem affecting a large, vulnerable population.
