Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Psychosocial Factors: Anxiety, Depression, Percections. These will be determined by: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), WHO Disability Assessment Schedule II[Baseline, 6 Months, 12 Months]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Economic hardship will be measured as a dichotomous variable based on a series of questions about failure to make household payments and whether there was help provided by any organisation or individual. A respondent reporting one or more failures to make payments or the need for help in making payments will be identified as a case of economic hardship. This will be measured at baseline for the 3 months prior to the stroke and at each follow-up visit. An advantage of this measure is that it is sensitive to the possibility that individuals do prioritise certain payments (e.g. default on power bills to pay rent). The basis for these questions is the US Census Survey of Income and Program Participationsurvivors and their families.[Baseline, 6 Months and 12 Months]
