“…As some ethnic groups are at higher risk of stroke, this also supports existing research demonstrating that those at higher risk of stroke have worse understanding. 7,10,17,20 Previous studies found that lower education levels linked with worse general understanding of stroke. 7,10,16 The results from this study did not show a similar statistically significant trend.…”

FAST enough? The UK general public’s understanding of stroke

-Good public awareness of stroke symptoms and the need for rapid admission to hospital can improve patient outcomes. However, evidence suggests that this awareness is currently inadequate. Therefore, it is important to identify gaps in public knowledge to target public health campaigns appropriately. This questionnaire study of 356 adults in Birmingham city centre assessed the general public's understanding of stroke, whether demographic factors affect this and the influence of a national campaign (FAST) on knowledge. The mean overall knowledge score was 11.8 out of 15; however, only 54.2% of those questioned knew that diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol were stroke risk factors. Of those questioned, 60.2% were aware of the FAST campaign. General understanding of stroke was fairly good, although it was found to be worse in the youngest, oldest age and nonwhite groups. Although there was good awareness of the FAST campaign, many people did not know what the individual letters meant. Based on the results of our study, we conclude that it might take considerable time for public awareness campaigns to achieve their full impact.

“…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.

“…Such unsatisfactory result is predictable because "FAST" is specifically designed for those who can understand English, and thus, developed across the world due to the effectiveness of "FAST" in reducing prehospital delay and increasing emergency medical service system utilization. [16][17][18] In the recent SWIFT PRIME Multi-center Randomized Controlled Trial, the median time from the stroke symptom onset to arrival at the emergency department was less than 2 hours (109·5 min with interquartile range of 54-192.5 min). [19] Rapid stroke recognition with immediate triggering of medical emergency service played significant role.…”
