Abstract

Purpose: To build trust and explore community perception on stroke disparities as well as barriers and strengths to stroke prevention. Design: Mixed methods study. Methods: A convenience sample (n = 54) of African Americans responded to questionnaires and participated in focus groups. Findings: Although a majority of participants had some knowledge of stroke warning signs and risk factors, there were misconceptions identified through the Community Listening Circles (CLCs). Misconceptions about stroke were identified. Six key themes emerged. Conclusions: Focus groups provided a better understanding of stroke perception. Clinical Evidence: Community health nurses may be able to use this information to provide care appropriately.
