简要总结
The investigators will conduct an ancillary study of participants in a completed RCT of medically tailored meals to determine whether transitioning these participants to a medically tailored groceries (MTG) program is a feasible approach to sustain health effects.
详细描述
This ancillary study is a single arm, pre-post design among adults with co-existing type 2 diabetes and elevated to high blood pressure who do not currently qualify for medically tailored meals (MTMs) but received them as part of their participation in an 8-month RCT on MTMs and cardiometabolic outcomes. The purpose of the ancillary study is to determine whether transitioning participants from a MTM to a MTG program (i.e., a hybrid MTM to MTG intervention) is a feasible approach to improve outcomes and sustain health effects. Participants will receive one box of medically tailored groceries each week for a period of 4 months, with each box supporting preparation of approximately 10 meals per week. No additional baseline visit will be required, as measurements collected at the 8-month visit in the parent clinical trial will serve as baseline values for the ancillary study. All participants will have their HbA1c and blood pressure measured and complete questionnaires about their diet quality, health and lifestyle behaviors, and program engagement and implementation at 4 months post receiving their first MTG box.

研究组 & 干预措施
Ancillary Study: Medically Tailored Groceries (MTG) Program
Participants in this ancillary study are adults with type 2 diabetes and elevated to high blood pressure who do not currently qualify for medically tailored meals (MTMs) but received them as part of a RCT for 8 months. This ancillary study evaluates whether transitioning from MTMs to MTGs is a feasible approach to maintain MTM intervention health effects and could be a better tolerated intervention for participants who are not engaged with the MTM intervention. Participants will receive one MTG box per week for 4 months, supporting preparation of ~10 heart healthy, diabetes appropriate meals per week. Outcomes will be assessed at the end of the 4-month MTG intervention period using questionnaires and clinic measurements (blood pressure and HbA1c). The 8-month primary endpoint visit for the parent RCT will serve as the baseline for this study.
