What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a telehealth-delivered Group Lifestyle Balance program specifically designed for individuals who have experienced a stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group receiving the program or a wait-list control group for six months. The program aims to promote healthy lifestyle changes through virtual support and guidance, leveraging technology to reach a diverse population of stroke survivors. The study will involve collaboration with patient partners and peer mentors to enhance engagement and outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve the health and quality of life for stroke survivors by promoting sustainable lifestyle changes.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with telehealth interventions for chronic disease management, suggesting potential success for this approach in stroke rehabilitation.
