New study tests whether community support teams boost stroke recovery
NCT ID NCT06397937
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a team of community health workers, social workers, and nurses can help stroke survivors who face social challenges like food or housing insecurity. The team visits participants at home starting within 72 hours of hospital discharge, offering referrals, counseling, and health education. The goal is to see if this support improves physical function, blood pressure, and quality of life over six months to a year, compared to standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
SHIFT team intervention (community health worker, community social worker, community nurse visits and support)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that providing social support and referrals after a stroke helps people recover better and manage their health long-term.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial focused on a specific group (Black and Hispanic adults). The results may not apply to everyone, and the intervention may not lead to lasting improvements.
