Summary

This study follows 1,000 stroke survivors and their caregivers to understand how social factors and discrimination affect recovery. Researchers will survey participants over time to measure outcomes like quality of life and caregiver strain. The goal is to identify why some groups, especially African American and Latino patients, may have worse recovery than others.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could reveal how social factors and discrimination impact stroke recovery, pointing toward ways to improve care for marginalized groups.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct changes in care, and results may not apply outside the MedStar Health system.
