Nutrition Outreach and Understanding: Research In Serving Hearts Through Healthy Eating And Tailored Support

NOURISH HEARTS: Nutrition Outreach and Understanding: Research In Serving Hearts Through Healthy Eating And Tailored Support

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 Dec 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study is a human-centered, three-arm, parallel-group, randomized control, implementation trial (n=75) to compare MTM (Medically Tailored Meals) only (14 meals delivered weekly for 10 weeks) vs. MTM + SMA (Shared Medical Appointments; once weekly sessions for 10 weeks) vs. a wait-list control group (MTM-Later) in patients with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and/or metabolic syndrome. All intervention components will be culturally congruent (e.g., MTMs will include food that converges with culturally relevant diets and SMAs will be delivered by individuals with racial concordance to the target community). Primary outcomes will be implementation (recruitment and retention rates) and feasibility (engagement and satisfaction). Participants will be recruited from Cleveland Clinic's South Pointe Hospital in Warrensville Heights, a predominantly Black community with low socioeconomic status and high cardiovascular disease morbidity.
