Development of a Stroke Prevention Program for an Underserved Minority Community
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an outpatient program can reduce the risk
of recurrent stroke.
Stroke is a major cause of death and disability. A history of stroke is the strongest
predictor of a future stroke. Control of risk factors lowers the risk of future stroke, yet
most persons with stroke do not have their risk factors controlled.
In this randomized-controlled trial, we will test whether an outpatient stroke prevention
program consisting of group clinics, patient self-management, and telephone care
coordination can lower the risk of recurrent stroke by improving patient knowledge,
medication adherence, and lifestyle habits. If successful, this program may be adapted to
other settings.
