Stroke Prevention in the Wisconsin Native American Population
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating High Risk - intensive coaching, High Risk - standard care, and 1 other intervention for Stroke and Atherosclerosis. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This project will develop a "Stroke Awareness Team" including training of Oneida Health Service Coaches working in partnership with the UW team for a population-based health awareness program. This team will develop a series of Oneida Nation Healthy Living and Stroke Awareness Events (from now on health events) to provide education as to the severity of the problem as well as our standard therapies for lifestyle change and risk factor avoidance. This will include education of the healthy members of the tribe including the children to identify signs of stroke and TIA in their elders as well as to develop healthy lifestyles at the earliest of ages to influence the elders to modify their risks.
