Tailored Approaches to Stroke Health Education
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stroke
In brief
The overarching goal of the proposed intervention is to reduce stroke disparities by overcoming pre-hospital barriers related to emergency stroke treatment and facilitating the appropriate response to acute stroke using a novel culturally-tailored and sustainable approach developed by an experienced transdisciplinary team. Building on our previous work, in which the investigators have identified barriers to increasing stroke literacy and behavioral intent to call 911, the investigators will develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a novel, culturally tailored intervention using storytelling (narrative persuasion) in the form of two professionally produced 12-minute films (in English and Spanish), in minority populations in New York City (NYC). Behavioral intent to call 911 will be assessed immediately after viewing the film, 6 months later, and one year later.
