Tailored approaches to stroke health education (TASHE): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
DiscussionThis is the first randomized trial of a church-placed narrative intervention to improve stroke outcomes in urban Black and Hispanic populations. A film intervention has the potential to make a significant public health impact, as film is a highly scalable and disseminable medium. Since there is at least one church in almost every neighborhood in the USA, churches have the ability and reach to play an important role in the dissemination and translation of stroke prevention programs in minority communities.Trial registrationNCT01909271; July 22, 2013
