What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Behavioral Intent to Call 911

    Change in Behavioral intent to call 911 using a self-administered survey. The survey is the Stroke Action test which was modified based on community input. Scores range from 0-12 for stroke. A higher score means greater stroke behavioral intent to call 911 for a stroke while a low score means lower behavioral intent to call 911 for a stroke.

    Time frame: Immediately (up to 10 minutes) before the brief intervention and then immediately (up to 10 minutes) after completing the brief intervention
