Summary
This study tested whether telephone interviews after a stroke can help patients better understand and follow their medication plans. 54 adults who had an ischemic stroke and were returning home received a pharmaceutical interview before discharge, followed by phone calls at one week and two months. The goal was to see if their knowledge and adherence improved over time.
