About this trial
The purpose of this parallel pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the impact of Eat Well (an evidence-based 'Food is Medicine' produce prescription program) with varying levels of behavioral support on health outcomes and care utilization patterns of Duke Health patients diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF). Objectives of this three arm trial include testing the effectiveness of Eat Well alone with minimal behavioral support and Eat Well with intensified behavioral support based on an evidence based approach to improve CHF patients' health outcomes, estimating health care cost savings between the intervention and control arms, and identifying barriers, facilitators, and potential strategies to enhance Eat Well effectiveness and implementation.
