The low-sodium DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) eating plan has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. However, there is a lack of available health information on the economic feasibility and cultural acceptability of DASH for low-income African American (AA) populations who are at the most risk for hypertension. An integrative review was conducted to summarize empirical literature on the economic feasibility and cultural acceptability of the DASH plan for low-income AAs using these databases: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL Complete, AGRICOLA, Web of Science Core Collection, ProQuest\u2019s Dissertations, Theses Citation Index, and Google Scholar. Study elements from articles in the final analysis were extracted. Eleven (11) published works met the study\u2019s inclusion criteria. Major themes were the availability and access of healthy foods, economic impact of obtaining healthy foods, material resources for cooking, food literacy, and the cultural acceptability of the DASH plan. These findings suggest that cost and cultural familiarity inhibit low-income AAs from benefiting from the DASH plan. Additional research is needed to develop and pilot test low-cost, culturally sensitive DASH eating plans for low-income AAs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph21111480","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,7]],"date-time":"2024-11-07T04:22:56Z","timestamp":1730953376000},"page":"1480","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Economic and Cultural Assessment of the DASH Eating Plan for Low-Income African Americans: An Integrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Brandi M.","family":"White","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health Sciences, University of Kentucky, 900 South Limestone Street, Room 209C, Lexington, KY 40536-0200, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9273-1633","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kendra","family":"OoNorasak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health Sciences, University of Kentucky, 900 South Limestone Street, Room 209C, Lexington, KY 40536-0200, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-6051-4758","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nadia A.","family":"Sesay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health Sciences, University of Kentucky, 900 South Limestone Street, Room 209C, Lexington, KY 40536-0200, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deidra","family":"Haskins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health Sciences, University of Kentucky, 900 South Limestone Street, Room 209C, Lexington, KY 40536-0200, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8197-7221","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cayla M.","family":"Robinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health Sciences, University of Kentucky, 900 South Limestone Street, Room 209C, Lexington, KY 40536-0200, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e347","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000001209","article-title":"2024 Heart disease and stroke statistics: A report of US and global data from the American Heart Association","volume":"149","author":"Martin","year":"2024","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e003166","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCOUTCOMES.116.003166","article-title":"Racial and Ethnic Differences in Antihypertensive Medication Use and Blood Pressure Control Among US Adults With Hypertension: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2003 to 2012","volume":"10","author":"Gu","year":"2017","journal-title":"Circ.
