Quality of Life Is Poorer for Patients With Stroke Who Require an Interpreter Brief Report
Background and Purpose—In multicultural Australia, some patients with stroke cannot fully understand, or speak, English.

Community-Based Intervention to Improve Cardiometabolic Targets in Patients With Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The intervention in this largely negative trial only had a detectable effect on attaining target for lipids but not for other factors at 12 months or any factor at 24 months. This limited effect may be attributable to inadequate uptake of behavioral/lifestyle interventions, highlighting the need for new or better approaches to achieve meaningful behavioral change.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
