Five, Plus Nuts and Beans for Kidneys

Participants assigned to the C-DASH diet advice group will be provided $30/week worth of fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans ordered through the study coach and delivered to a community location to reach a certain goal of potassium intake (months 0-4). During phase 2 of the study (months 5-12), a study coach will continue telephonic contact with the participants to set goals for following a DASH-like diet without the weekly food allowance.

Participants will be given a brochure containing information about the DASH diet which will be reviewed with a study team member. In months 1-4, participants will receive a gift card equivalent to a weekly allowance of $30 to Klein's ShopRite stores of Maryland for purchases of food and beverages of their choice. During phase two (months 5-12), they will be asked to continue following a DASH-like diet but will not receive a gift card for purchases.
