Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Stroke Preparedness Intervention
The stroke preparedness educational intervention was designed with input from the community where it is being tested. It will be delivered in-person by a research team member. The intervention focuses on recognizing stroke symptoms and the importance of calling 911.
Face-to-face interaction with research staff lasting between 5-10 minutes
Active Comparator: Healthy lifestyle intervention
The Healthy lifestyle stroke risk reduction educational intervention is based on patient materials from the American Heart Association. It will be delivered in-person by a research team member. The intervention focuses on stroke risk reduction.
Face-to-face interaction with research staff lasting between 5-10 minutes

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Behavioral Intent to Call 911
Time Frame: Immediately (up to 10 minutes) before the brief intervention and then immediately (up to 10 minutes) after completing the brief intervention
Change in Behavioral intent to call 911 using a self-administered survey. The survey is the Stroke Action test which was modified based on community input. Scores range from 0-12 for stroke. A higher score means greater stroke behavioral intent to call 911 for a stroke while a low score means lower behavioral intent to call 911 for a stroke.
Immediately (up to 10 minutes) before the brief intervention and then immediately (up to 10 minutes) after completing the brief intervention
