What this Trial Is About
People living with the cognitive effects of stroke are at risk for recurrent stroke and further cognitive decline. Also problematic is that stroke risk clusters in families and biological family members of people who have ischemic stroke may also be at increased risk of stroke and/or cognitive decline. The primary goal of this study is to test the feasibility of a virtually delivered cognitive strategy training and health coaching program to reduce vascular risk and promote brain health in persons with stroke and their biological family members.
