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.

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.
KB connections:
- Kentucky MTM pilot (Session 17) — similar intervention, need to compare effect sizes
- SDOH interventions show strong ROI but adoption stalls because Z-code documentation remains below 3 percent — student-run programs are another workaround to the infrastructure gap
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.
