Stroke Research Initiative to Advance Equity

Sponsor: Medstar Health Research Institute

Summary

1. Assess patient-centered outcomes (PCOs) amongst stroke survivors and their caregivers in the MedStar Health system longitudinally. i. Utilize a community advisory board (CAB) of stroke survivors and their caregivers to identify the patient-centered outcome(s) that the CAB determine to be most important and valuable to assess based on their lived experiences. ii. Collect the chosen PCOs at multiple time points using an electronic survey tool (e.g. Qualtrics, Tonic or RedCap) 2. Evaluate the impact of social determinants of health (SDoH) and experiences of discrimination on the chosen PCOs. 3. Examine whether there are differences in long-term PCOs amongst stroke survivors from different racial and ethnic groups. 2.2 Hypothesis: The investigator hypothesizes that stroke survivors that come from historically marginalized populations, specifically African American and Latinos, will have lower patient-centered outcome scores overall as compared to their Caucasian counterparts. In addition, the investigator hypothesizes that the difference PCO scores between Caucasian and African American and Latino populations will be due in part to experienced discrimination and not SDoH alone. .
