Purpose of Study
Health behaviors like physical activity and nutritious eating habits significantly reduce initial stroke risk and help prevent strokes from reoccurring. Yet, most individuals struggle to meet physical activity and nutrition recommendations. Health and health behaviors are typically linked in couples, and spouses occupy a unique position to facilitate each other’s physical activity and healthy nutrition, thereby reducing stroke risk for everyone involved.
Eligibility
You can participate in this study if you or your partner has had a stroke, you are living in the community, and you can walk at least 10 meters (with or without the help of a mobility device). Because the daily questionnaires are completed using a tablet computer, you need to be able to read newspaper size print and handle a device the size of a book. We will teach you everything you need to know about how to use the tablet. Due to our focus on social relationships, we need you and your partner both to participate.
