Summary

Two thirds of all strokes happen in developing countries like Pakistan. There is a serious lack of health literacy regarding survival after stroke. We hypothesize that our set of 5 minute videos that teach important skills to stroke survivors and their caregivers , that can be replayed in cell phones for extended learning, will increase their adherence to Medications after stroke and improve the control of blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and glucose in the participants getting cell phone based educational videos.
