Compass 3: A Novel Transition Program to Reduce Disability After a Stroke

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

This study evaluates a program designed to help individuals transition from inpatient rehabilitation to home following an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Half of the participants will receive a stroke education program while the other half will receive an environmental modifications program.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Aged ≥55 years at the time of screening - Acute stroke diagnosis (IS or ICH) verified by the stroke team or medical record - Independent in activities of daily living (ADLs) prior to stroke (premorbid Modified Rankin Scale score ≤2) - Plan to discharge to home from an IR - Capable of giving willing to sign a consent form which includes compliance with the requirements and duration of participation as listed in the willing to sign a consent form Form (ICF). Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Life expectancy \<6 months - Cognitive impairment that the participant's stroke team or a research team member believes impairs their ability to provide willing to sign a consent form or make reasoned choice including the interpretation of the self-rated scales - Any communication problem that would prevent study completion - Residence in a congregate living facility - Not eligible for a therapeutic pass - Residence outside of the designated catchment area (specific catchment distance to be determined by each site) - Site investigator's judgment that the participant would not be able to complete research procedures or interventions - Participation in another research study that in the site investigator's judgment could interfere or conflict with this research study's assessments or interventions Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

BEHAVIORAL

COMPASS

The data from the baseline assessment will be used to develop an environmental modification intervention plan. Environmental modifications will be installed before discharge if possible. Problem areas addressed are participant specific (tailored), but the process to identify and address the target area is systematic. All participants will receive identical intervention components. The standardized components include assessment, identification of problematic activities (and environmental barriers), identification of solutions for each problem, implementation of solution set selected by the participant, training, and active practice of daily activities in one's own home and community.

BEHAVIORAL

Education Program

The control group will experience the same effects of time and attention in the home but no effect on the outcome of interest.
