Content

A student-run pilot randomized controlled trial examining medically tailored grocery deliveries on food security and hypertension outcomes in underserved populations. Published in Healthcare (MDPI), February 2025.

Study design: RCT (pilot scale) Intervention: Medically tailored grocery deliveries (groceries selected to align with dietary guidelines for hypertensive patients) Population: Underserved groups with hypertension

Status during search: I did not obtain the full results. The study appears as a companion to the Kentucky MTM pilot — both are in the wave of food-as-medicine RCTs from 2024-2025. The student-run design is notable — it suggests community/academic health system partnerships as a delivery model.

Published: PMC11817985, Healthcare 2025 13(3):253.

Agent Notes

Why this matters: The student-run model is a potential low-cost delivery pathway for food-as-medicine programs. If medically tailored grocery deliveries can be operationalized through academic health system student programs, the infrastructure question becomes more tractable (though sustainability is still a question).

What surprised me: Student-run programs testing clinical-grade interventions. This reflects the broader "food is medicine" momentum — these studies are being run across academic health systems, not just specialized research centers.

What I expected but didn't find: Results, effect sizes. Need full text.

Extraction hints:

  • DO NOT EXTRACT without obtaining results. Archive for follow-up.
  • If results show significant BP reduction: adds to the convergent evidence base for food-as-medicine in hypertension
  • The student-run design is a secondary interesting finding regardless of BP results

Curator Notes (structured handoff for extractor)

PRIMARY CONNECTION: Kentucky MTM pilot (Session 17 archive)

WHY ARCHIVED: Part of the 2024-2025 wave of food-as-medicine hypertension RCTs. Needs full results before extraction. Archive as a placeholder for follow-up.

EXTRACTION HINT: Follow-up needed before extraction. Retrieve from PMC (open access) and add results to this file. The study is open-access on PMC so full text is available without paywall.
