简要总结
This proposal seeks to improve the investigators' post-stroke TOC process through developing an innovative, patient informed and guided solution aimed at addressing the investigators' deep south African American population within the UAB system. The investigators will engage participants in both urban and rural Alabama through informational interviews and work to find common themes to address so that future interventions are useful to their unique needs and desires. This goes beyond simply identifying barriers and endeavors to discovering solutions.

Feasibility of recruitment and retention
时间窗: July 1,2022-January 20, 2023
The investigators will screen 60-100 individuals with the goal of enrolling a total of 20 AA (African American) stroke survivors +/- their identified caregivers. Historically, there has been low recruitment and retention rates for AAs. The investigators plan to over-recruit in order to account for this phenomenon and track our success/failure rates with percent retained vs recruited.
Ability to use Zoom platform
时间窗: July 1,2022-January 20, 2023
The Zoom platform is becoming a more popular avenue to conduct qualitative interviews for research purposes among researchers and participants. The investigators will evaluate if this reported phenomenon is reproducible within this particular research cohort. Success will measured by a 50% or greater completion of interview and the ability to successfully connect to the zoom platform either via smart device or telephone dial in. The investigators will also document any technical difficulties that are encountered from either the interviewer's standpoint or the participant's standpoint.
Validity of questions asked to arrive at the themes that will appropriately inform the basis of this proposal
时间窗: February 2023-May 2023
We will extract data from transcriptions of participants' Zoom interviews and perform thematic analysis
