What are the most impactful ways of providing healthy food as part of health care to aid in addressing chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension? That question will be examined in a study titled "SUSTAIN: Promoting sustained behavior change and nutrition security in Medicaid-enrolled individuals with Stage 2 Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome," which was recently featured in a news update by The Ohio State University College of Medicine. CATALYST-affiliated Associate Professor Daniel Walker, PhD, MPH, the Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Family and Community Medicine, is one of several experts taking part in the study and is quoted in the article as he discusses the role of access to culturally appropriate food, along with other interventions, to address social needs that are non-medical but related to overall health.
