In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Stroke is increasing in low-income countries in Africa, and knowledge is lacking on risk factors and how to prevent stroke as well as how to best use the resources for rehabilitation after stroke which are very limited. Knowledge generation within this area is therefore urgently needed. This collaboration between the research group HELD (Health and Everyday Life among people with neurological Disorders), Karolinska Institutet (KI) and the research surveillant site Africa Medical and Behavioral Sciences Organization (AMBSO) population health surveillance (PHS), will create substantial research opportunities to develop and improve prevention and rehabilitation for stroke, which is in line with the sustainable development goals to reduce the prevalence and mortality rates due to NCDs. AMBSO is collecting data from 17 000 households on many potential risk factors for stroke. Questions about
