Summary

This study looked at whether an online training program can effectively teach healthcare workers how to screen stroke patients for swallowing problems (dysphagia). Swallowing problems are common after a stroke and can lead to pneumonia if not caught early. The researchers compared the new online training to the standard in-person training to see if it was just as accurate. 82 healthcare professionals took part in the study.
