The intervention will consist of a 12-week pilot trial in which participants will be given intervention materials tailored to their community, focusing on DASH. Intervention content will be designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills to adopt the DASH eating pattern, specifically to increase fruit, vegetable, and low-fat dairy intake, and to decrease saturated fats and sodium. They will follow this diet for 12 weeks.
