Summary
This study tested whether community education and hospital improvements could increase the use of clot-busting drugs for stroke in Flint, Michigan. Researchers enrolled nearly 6,000 adult stroke patients across three hospitals. The community intervention included workshops, a music video, and a media campaign. The goal was to see if these efforts led to more patients receiving timely treatment.
