SDOH-Homecare Intervention Focus Team (SHIFT) Trial to Improve Stroke Outcomes
Sponsor: Columbia University
Summary
Primary Goal: To test the hypothesis that among stroke patients 18-75 years with ≥3 SDOH risk factors, SHIFT will improve: (1) functional outcomes as measured by the SIS (Primary Outcome), (2) physiological outcomes as measured by changes in blood pressure and cognition, (secondary outcomes) and (3) epigenetic allostatic load biomarkers (exploratory outcome) such as DNA methylation (DNAm) and telomere length, at 6 months and 1-year post-stroke, compared with usual care (UC).
