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

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a telehealth-based self-management program specifically designed for individuals recovering from a stroke. The program aims to enhance self-efficacy, improve daily activity performance, and boost overall quality of life for participants who are within six months post-stroke. Participants will engage in small-group sessions that focus on stroke-specific challenges and strategies for community engagement. The intervention includes the Improving Participation after Stroke Self-Management Program (IPASS) and the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP).
