Purpose of Study

The purpose of this study is to identify gaps in health services and make recommendations for the development of high-quality and equitable systems of stroke care informed by young women stroke survivors' experiences.

Phase two of the study is currently recruiting. This phase is open to family members and/or caregivers of young women stroke survivors. The young woman that family members and/or caregivers support must have had a stroke between the ages of 18 and 60 years old, and the stroke must have happened after 2012.
