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.
