Equip yourself with information and inspiration to develop stroke prevention messages and programs for young adult stroke survivors. Strokes have increased among young adults but tailored prevention strategies that meet the needs of this population are lacking. Identify ways to attract, engage, and empower young stroke survivors through interdisciplinary inquiry, observation, and collaboration. Learn how the Stroke Counseling for Risk Reduction (SCORRE) intervention was developed and how it increases awareness of stroke and promotes healthy lifestyle behaviors to reduce stroke risk in young African American adults.
