Stroke survivors ’ preferences for post-stroke self-management programs: A discrete choice experiment

Stroke is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability with physical, emotional, social, and financial consequences that affect both stroke survivors as well as their families. Stroke has an incidence rate of 1.8 per 1000 person-years and a prevalence of 3.7% in Singapore1, and a 2015 report showed that stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases were the 10th most common cause of hospitalization and the 4th leading cause of deaths in the country.2 Further, stroke survivors are at a higher risk of having a transient ischemic attack (TIA),3 or another cerebrovascular attack.
