## 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.
