NCT02982278

Brief Summary

This research project will evaluate the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors, degrees of physical and mental activity prior to the stroke, brain tissue integrity, post-stroke community participation and neurological recovery after the stroke. Investigators will recruit and study healthy and post stroke participants, gaining insight into the possible mechanisms that explain why the adverse risk profile, which is more commonly present in African-Americans than non-Hispanic Whites in the stroke belt, is translated into a less favorable recovery post stroke.

Study Arms (2)

CINGS Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

CINGS is a 12-week nurse coordinated, Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention structure. Registered Nurse (RN) developed After hospital care plan with home visits sessions will be conducted by the CHW and intermittent televideo RN interactions. After baseline assessment, participants randomized to the intervention group will have home visits, once a week for the first month, and biweekly during months two and three. follow up assessments at 3, 6, and 12-month intervals.

Behavioral: Community-based Intervention under Nurse Guidance after Stroke

Control

EXPERIMENTAL

Control group will receive usual care. Base line visit and follow up at 3, 6, and 12 months post stroke enrollment.

Behavioral: Community-based Intervention under Nurse Guidance after Stroke

Interventions

CINGS is a 12-week nurse coordinated, Community Health Worker intervention structure. Intervention home visits will be conducted by the CHW and will include home-based training in self-care and self-management strategies alongside strategies to address risk of negative stroke outcomes that will be determined once these risk factors are identified and community-engaged approaches to their resolution derived. CHW efforts will be guided via televideo interactions with nurse coordinator. During home-visits, self-reported assessments will be collected via RedCap as well as assessments collected by the CHW and research nurse (weight, blood pressure, medication adherence). After baseline, participants randomized to the intervention group will have home visits, once a week for the first month, and biweekly for the other two months, conducted by the CHW. Additionally, there will be post-intervention follow-up assessments at 3, 6, and 12-month time intervals.
