Summary

This study tested a 6-month program called TEAM designed to help African-American men who have had a stroke or mini-stroke manage their health better. The program included group sessions with a nurse and peer educators, focusing on lifestyle changes to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Researchers compared 80 men in the program to 80 men on a waitlist to see if the program improved key risk factors.
