The participating clinics have been and will be recruited either by personal contacts or after the study is promoted at the national and regional conferences.To attract more clinics to participate in the study, the Chief Investigator will continuously promote the study at professional and lay-community conference/educational events. To attract more patients, recruitment posters with the contact details of research staff will be displayed at each participating site. All stroke survivors in the participating clinics will receive the study information and a letter inviting them to participate in the study. Other study awareness efforts, including clinical trial finder websites and word of mouth, will also be used to enhance the recruitment of clinics and participants. Moreover, recruitment status relative to planned targets will be reviewed monthly by the administrative study team, and the Chief Investigator will adjust the recruitment plans as needed.
