What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Stroke etiology recognition (90 days)	The proportion of patients who correctly identify their stroke etiology	90 days
Stroke risk factor recognition (90 days)	The proportion of patients who correctly identify at least one of their vascular risk factors	90 days
Patient satisfaction with stroke education (90 days)	5-point Likert-scale (Q: I am satisfied with the quality of my stroke education; Answers range from strongly disagree to strongly agree)	90 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Stroke prevention medication recognition (7 days)	The proportion of patients who correctly identify their antithrombotic medications	7 days
Stroke prevention medication recognition (90 days)	The proportion of patients who correctly identify their antithrombotic medications	90 days
Stroke etiology recognition (7 days)	The proportion of patients who correctly identify their stroke etiology	7 days
Stroke risk factor recognition (7 days)	The proportion of patients who correctly identify at least one of their vascular risk factors	7 days
modified Rankin Scale	Ordinal functional disability scale (score 0 - 6)	90 days
Patient satisfaction with stroke education (7 days)	5-point Likert-scale (Q: I am satisfied with the quality of my stroke education; Answers range from strongly disagree to strongly agree)	7 days
Stroke patient education retention (SPER) survey (7 days)	total score from the 5-question SPER (scale 0-10; higher score reflects better knowledge)	7 days
Stroke patient education retention (SPER) survey (90 days)	total score from the 5-question SPER (scale 0-10; higher score reflects better knowledge)	90 days
EuroQOL - visual analog scale (7 days)	patient-reported quality of life score (scale 0-100; higher score reflects better self-reported quality of life)	7 days
EuroQOL - visual analog scale (90 days)	patient-reported quality of life score (scale 0-100; higher score reflects better self-reported quality of life)	90 days
Medication adherence (7 days)	total score of the Adherence Estimator (3 question survey; total score 0-36; higher score reflects higher risk of non-adherence)	7 days
Medication adherence (90 days)	total score of the Adherence Estimator (3 question survey; total score 0-36; higher score reflects higher risk of non-adherence)	90 days
