Summary
This study tests whether a program called iHeLP is practical and acceptable for stroke survivors. The program includes a one-on-one interview to set personal goals, followed by six weekly group sessions focused on healthy lifestyle changes. Researchers will measure how many people join and stick with the program, and whether it improves participants' lifestyle behaviors. The goal is to see if this approach could support stroke survivors in reducing their risk of future health problems.
