Abstract 236: Poor Recurrent Stroke Prevention Knowledge in High Risk Stroke Survivors Poster Session II

Inadequate control of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and poor stroke knowledge among transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke survivors impact stroke recurrence.We used a community-based participatory approach to recruit TIA/stroke survivors from community and clinical sites into a randomized controlled stroke prevention educational intervention trial. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of baseline survey responses describing demographics, clinical characteristics, an...

Increased use of the analyzer and similar software may support enhanced education efforts aimed at improving adherence to guidelines and quality of care.
