Patient and Community Health Worker (CHW) Perspectives on a CHW-delivered Nutrition Intervention for Low-Income Adults with Hypertension: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/
objectivesAdults with food insecurity (FI) face barriers to hypertension management, including difficulty adhering to diet recommendations. Few community health worker (CHW) interventions focus on diet to improve blood pressure. This qualitative study elicited patient and CHW perspectives on healthy eating and a future CHW nutrition intervention for patients with hypertension.
methodsTwenty-five patients with hypertension and FI and 5 CHWs participating in a hypertension health coaching program from 5 Boston-area health centers participated in semi-structured interviews from July to September 2023. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using the Framework Method.
resultsThemes included: 1) Variable patient knowledge about dietary patterns for hypertension management and low confidence in interpreting nutrition labels; 2) Culture influenced healthy food perception; and 3) Barriers to healthy eating included cost, limited cooking abilities/supplies, and competing demands. Patients and CHWs favored simple nutrition education materials (e.g., traffic light nutrition ranking, healthy meals on a budget). Patients had mixed opinions about CHW-accompanied supermarket visits.
conclusionsThis study identified culture, knowledge gaps, and budget constraints as factors influencing diet among patients with hypertension and FI. A CHW-delivered intervention could include simplified nutrition education, strategies for healthy eating on a budget, and linkage to community-based food programs.
