Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

FAST and Stroke-112 are two campaigns to reduce the emergency room arrival time of stroke patients. No study has evaluated the effectiveness of these campaigns. This study aimed to compare recalling capacity of people in these two campaigns.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cerebral vascular accidents have been one of the leading causes of death in Taiwan in recent years. In the modern medical system, treatment for hyperacute stroke including intravenous thrombolysis and intra-arterial thrombectomy. The faster patient received treatment, the better outcome he has.

Prehospital delay of acute stroke treatment has been an important issue in modern medical system. Awareness of stroke symptoms and calling for medical help immediately is the most important part of stroke health education. The most used educational campaign is FAST.

In recent years, there is another stroke educational campaign called STROKE 112. Previous study had showed it has greater acceptance, since the number is easier to remember then letter, especially in non-English speaking countries.

The investigators had conducted a hospital-based randomized study in 2019, which revealed that STROKE 112 had similar, but not superior effectiveness with FAST. However, more study is needed for community-based population.

This study will compare and explore the effectiveness of two stroke educational campaigns, FAST and STROKE 112, on community-based population by using the questionnaire, in Yunlin, Taiwan. The result will been compared and analyzed with previous study, help us modify and enhance our current stroke educational program, shorten the prehospital delay, and improve outcomes of patients with acute stroke.

The subjects will be randomized into either group: FAST or STROKE 112. Then the investigator will give a 15min eduacation. The evaluation will be arranged 5 days and 30 days after the first education, and the outcome is the recalling capacity of the stroke symptoms in the educational campaign.
