Curious to learn how to implement the GoFresh grocery intervention? Our intervention design paper led by our team of dietitians is out! Everything you want to know from the framework to how we handled tricky counseling cases. It's a great read!

BIG congrats to my colleagues/friend @spjuraschek on The GoFresh Trial and John Dodson on The BETTER-BP Trial, both of which were presented this afternoon in "Practice Changing HTN Trials" at #AHA25 w/ Sim Pubs in @JAMANetwork and @JACCJournals @BIDMChealth @nyulangone

What are the exciting #CVprev trials at #AHA25?

For me, one is this one:

🫀 GOFRESH Trial

Can prescribing groceries lower blood pressure? The GOFRESH trial tests whether delivering DASH-patterned grocery boxes (not just advice) helps people eat healthy and cut BP. #AHA25 #FoodAsMedicine #GoFresh

Black men face the shortest life expectancy in the US, driven in part by poor CV health. The Black Impact trial will use a novel community-academic-government–industry partnership to test an intervention. #AHAJournals #Protocol @joshuajosephmd https://t.co/xyDDM9HMfx
