A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on the relationship between substance use disorders and stroke recovery, emphasizing the need for lifestyle modifications to prevent stroke recurrence. It aims to assess the prevalence of substance-related and addiction disorders among stroke patients and their impact on emotional health and rehabilitation outcomes. The study will utilize interventions such as the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) and Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to gather data and support patients in making necessary lifestyle changes. By understanding these dynamics, the study seeks to inform clinical practices and improve post-stroke care.
