STROKE, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
The persons randomized into the CG were provided with an equivalent lifestyle analysis and goal setting by an occupational therapist during the baseline assessments; the therapist also provided brief advice on lifestyle-focused prevention of stroke, which was personalized according to the participants’ lifestyle analysis. All participants in the study (IG and CG) that were identified as having a medically uncontrolled risk factor (e.g., high blood pressure) were referred to a general practitioner (GP) and/or specialist nurse in primary healthcare.
