Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to learn whether the BE FAST (Balance, Eyes, Face, Arm, Speech, and Time) acronym works at least as well or better than the F.A.S.T. (Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call 911) acronym in helping participants learn and remember the warning signs of a stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the BE FAST acronym increase understanding among participants that calling 911 is the right first step they should take if a stroke is suspected?
* Does the BE FAST acronym perform as well as or better than the F.A.S.T. acronym in helping participants remember stroke warning signs on a letter-aided open-ended basis? Researchers will compare the BE FAST acronym to the F.A.S.T. acronym to see if the BE FAST acronym works at least as well as the F.A.S.T. acronym in teaching participants about the warning signs of a stroke and the importance of calling 911 if they suspect a stroke.

Participants will:

* Take a survey about their knowledge of stroke and its symptoms
* Watch a short video about one of the acronyms and then answer more questions about what they learned
* Take another survey after 30 days about the acronym they learned about
