Target number of participants: 48
Treatments
Placebo_comparator: Delayed-Start
After randomization, the Delayed-Start group will be observed for 16 weeks with no study activity. Following the observation period, they will complete a 16-week study visit and then receive the same Kidney Health Nutrition and Cooking program that was delivered to the Immediate-Start group.
Experimental: Immediate-Start
Each participant in the Immediate-Start arm will receive one 30-minute individual virtual session with the dietitian and advised to follow a low-sodium diet followed by 16 weekly group Kidney Health Nutrition and Cooking sessions. Didactic group sessions will occur virtually. During the ten virtual sessions, participants will be coached by a registered dietitian to follow a low-sodium DASH diet, taught to read food labels, and balance food portions. The six cooking classes will consist of hands-on instruction aimed to enhance cooking skills and help participants create nutrient-rich meals that are consistent with DASH diet principles using food staples that are common to participants' culture. Following the intervention, they will follow the DASH diet on their own for an additional 16 weeks.
