Supplemental methods including analysis of data are provided in the online-only Data Supplement.We enrolled 1127 students of the first to third grades (age, 13-15 years) in 9 public junior high schools and their parents. For recognition of stroke signs and symptoms, we used the Face, Arm, Speech, and Background and purpose-Educating the youth about stroke is a promising approach for spreading stroke knowledge. The aim of this study was to verify communication of stroke knowledge to parents by educating junior high school students about stroke. Methods-We enrolled 1127 junior high school students (age, 13-15 years) and their parents in the Tochigi prefecture, Japan.All students received a stroke lesson, watched an animated cartoon, and read the related Manga comic as educational aids. The students took back home the Manga and discussed what they learned with their parents. Questionnaires on stroke knowledge were given to all at baseline and immediately after the lesson. Results-A total of 1125 students and 915 parents answered the questionnaires. In the students, the frequency of correct answers increased significantly for all questions on stroke symptoms except for headache, and for all questions on risk factors after the lesson. In the parents, the correct answer rates increased for stroke symptoms except for headache and numbness in one side of the body, and for all questions on risk factors except for hypertension. Ninety-one percent of students and 92.7% of parents correctly understood the Face, Arm, Speech, and Time (FAST) mnemonic after the lesson. Conclusions-Improvement of stroke knowledge immediately after the stroke lesson was observed in parents as well as their children, which indicated that our teaching materials using the Manga was effective in delivering the stroke knowledge to parents through their children.

“…1 Programs targeting children may equip them with the ability to recognize stroke symptoms and call 911, [1][2][3] but long-term follow-up data are scarce. Interventions have engaged elementary and middle school children, with program follow-up duration ranging from 10 days 4 to 2 months.…”

Objectives:To evaluate the effect of Hip Hop Stroke, a school-based multimedia musical stroke literacy intervention that targets children aged 8Ϫ12 in high-risk minority communities, on the long-term learning of stroke knowledge. Methods:We enrolled a cohort of 104 fifth and sixth grade children from 2 schools in Central Harlem into a single course of Hip Hop Stroke (3 1-hour classroom sessions, delivered over 3 consecutive days). Tests evaluating knowledge of stroke symptoms and behavioral intent to call 911 using hypothetical stroke scenarios were conducted at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 15 months after the initial and only intervention. A composite score was created from 5 traditional stroke symptoms plus a distracter (chest pain). Data were analyzed using SAS version 9.2.
