Read our Hypertension research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a program called 'Eat Well' — which gives veterans $100 per month to spend on healthy foods like fruits and vegetables — can help lower blood pressure and improve overall health. Many veterans struggle to afford nutritious food, which makes it harder to manage high blood pressure and other health conditions. Researchers want to see if making healthy food more affordable makes a real difference in people's health.
One in four veterans face food insecurity, meaning they don't always have reliable access to healthy, affordable food. This shortage of affordable nutritious food makes it much harder to control high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity, and can lead to more hospital visits and higher healthcare costs. This trial will test whether the treatment can help solve this problem.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to one of three groups: receive $100 per month in food vouchers for 6 months, receive the vouchers for 12 months, or continue with your regular VA care without the vouchers. All participants will get information about VA programs that help with nutrition and healthy living. The study will track your blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and healthcare visits over 12 months to see if the food vouchers help improve your health.
