Promoting TIA Awareness: Decreasing Stroke Mortality in Vermont

Abstract

The death rate from stroke in Washington County, VT was nearly twice that of the state in 2015. Risk of death from stroke can be decreased by timely intervention, however many patients are unaware as to signs and symptoms of stroke, and when to seek medical attention. A brochure was developed and distributed, aiming to shorten the time between experiencing TIA symptoms and point of contact with medical professionals.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fmclerk/1497/thumbnail.jp
