Hispanic Secondary Stroke Prevention Initiative

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stroke

In brief

Stroke is a leading cause of death and functional impairments and stroke risk factors (SRFs) disproportionately affect Latino populations. In the Hispanic Secondary Stroke Prevention Initiative (HISSPI) the investigators propose a study using Community Health Workers (CHW) and mobile technologies using cell phones to reduce the risk for a recurrent stroke among Latino stroke patients. The project examines the effectiveness of a combined multilevel intervention consisting of Community Health Workers (CHW) and mobile based phone technologies in lowering of systolic blood pressure (SBP) which is the most important risk factor for recurrent stroke.
