Stroke Survivors – reduce your risk of having another stroke - research trial from Hunter Medical Research Institute, Australia

How will the success of the research programs be measured?

So we can measure if the program works, we will ask you to do the following before you start the program, and again every 3 months while you are involved in the study (for 12 months all together):

1. Answer some questions about your stroke, your medications, your health, how much exercise you do and your diet
2. Take regular blood pressure measures for 1 week at home (we will send you a monitor and show you how to use it)
3. Wear an activity monitor on your thigh for 1 week to measure how active you are (we will send the monitor to you)
4. We might also ask you to do an interview with one of our research team about your experience in being involved in the study.

Who can participate?

You are suitable to participate if you:

• are aged over 18 years
• have had a stroke or TIA in the last 10 years
• are able to walk at least short distances without someone helping you
• have an internet connection and either a laptop computer or tablet device at home (we may be able to provide one if you don’t)
• have medical clearance from your doctor to exercise (we will help arrange this)
• are living in Australia
