Summary

The investigators aim to examine the effect on smoking cessation rate by showing stroke patients who are active smokers images of their strokes.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Neuroimages of stroke

Participants in the intervention group will be shown computer images of head CT or brain MRI (DWI/FLAIR series) of their strokes. Basic orientation to neuroimaging (laterality, positioning, parts of the brain) will be provided first, and then the image of the stroke itself will be reviewed. Participants will be provided with a paper copy of the slice demonstrating the largest volume of stroke to keep. In comparison, patients will also be shown images of a normal healthy, and images of a patient with recurrent strokes due to smoking. Patients will be told that smoking cessation would help to prevent additional stroke, but that it would not repair the damage already done, as visualized on the neuroimaging.

BEHAVIORAL

standardized smoking cessation counseling

Standardized smoking cessation counseling will be provided at their initial interview. They will be provided pamphlets from the National Stroke Association and the American Heart Association regarding risk factor reduction. Packets will include general information on risks associated with smoking along with the benefits of cessation, and methods to quit. Pamphlets will include Life's Simple 7 (American Heart Association, 2014) and Be Smoke Free: Facts about Smoking and Stroke Risk (National Stroke Association, 2009). Counseling will be scripted and standardized to ensure similar language with all participants.
