Summary

This study is testing a 28-day healthy eating program for adults who live in public housing and are at risk for heart disease. The program helps people eat more whole plant foods, like fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains, and avoid foods that are highly processed or high in fat. Participants get a "kitchen makeover," including groceries, cooking tools, whole-food, plant-based recipes, and support from a nutritionist. The goal is to see if the program is easy to follow, helpful, and if support from a spouse or partner makes it easier to stick with the new way of eating. The study will include 24 adults who either have heart disease or are at risk because of conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity. Researchers will visit participants at home to provide supplies and support. They will also collect surveys, interviews, and health information to learn more about how the program worked and how well participants followed the diet.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Whole Food Plant Based Diet Jumpstart	Participants receive personally-tailored support by a research nutritionist during five total visits: (1)baseline visit to collect surveys on health status, current home kitchen-based habits, kitchen inventory, food preferences, and clinical measures, followed by assessing health goals, obstacles, and opportunities. At least two breakfast, three lunch, and five dinner WFPB recipes will be selected. (2) A kitchen-centered visit will target the fridge, pantries, and cabinets to assist participants in cleaning out ultra-processed "junk" foods. These foods will be stored in a large tote during the study. (3) The day before the intervention starts will be a grocery shopping trip to purchase the WFPB heart-healthy groceries together. (4) Intervention day 1 will focus on jumpstarting meal prep. After day 1, weekly 30-min telehealth nutrition consultations will provide additional support. (5) Clinical measures and postintervention surveys will be collected on day 29.
