Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the local adaptation of existing stroke prevention tools into practice. A stroke prevention program is a collection of materials including written materials like pamphlets and brochures, videotapes and training guides for stroke survivors and evidence based guidelines for the doctors that provide care for them. Other tools that may be used in a stroke prevention program include devices that help patients monitor medical symptoms at home like home blood pressure machines or blood sugar monitors and messaging devices that allow reporting symptoms from home to a health care provider.

We hypothesized Veterans with stroke who receive the Veteran Stroke Prevention Program would engage in better medication compliance and stroke specific quality of life compared to those who did not receive the program.
