Interventions

Care ManagementBEHAVIORAL

Over a period of one year, subjects will participate in two regular stroke clinics, three group clinics, obtain self-management tools, and will receive a series of four scheduled telephone calls by nurse practitioners to review information delivered during the group clinics and help with care coordination. Usual care will also be available.

1: Care management

Educational materials about stroke that will be distributed during the group clinic session will be mailed to these subjects. These materials have been developed by the American Heart Association. Usual care will also be available.

2: Written Materials
