Discharge Educational Strategies for Reduction of Vascular Events
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Intracerebral Infarcts, Ischemic Stroke, Hemorrhagic Strokes, TIA's
In brief
DESERVE is a discharge education study using health workers to enroll and randomly assign 800 subjects diagnosed with TIA, or mild stroke to either risk factor education or usual care. Those patients assigned to education will receive stroke preparedness education plus risk factor reduction education, and help accessing follow up care with health workers. Those patients assigned to usual care will receive written stroke preparedness education. This protocol will evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention to reduce blood pressure, and individual stroke risk factors and future stroke risk.
