Tailored Hospital-based Risk Reduction to Impede Vascular Events After Stroke

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a culturally-sensitive multipronged post-discharge intervention can significantly reduce blood pressure, enhance achievement of guideline recommended targets for risk factor control, and lower recurrent vascular events in a low-income and middle-income (LMIC). The study will have 2 Phases - a qualitative phase (Phase 1) lasting less than one year involving development of the intervention through focus group methodologies and structured interviews, and a clinical trial phase (Phase 2)lasting 3 years involving a randomized trial testing the efficacy of the intervention.
