SHIFT Trial for Stroke Recovery and Social Support
This study, called the SDOH-Homecare Intervention Focus Team (SHIFT) trial, is testing if a special homecare team can help people who have had a stroke. The SHIFT team includes a community health worker, a community social worker, and a community nurse. They will visit you at home shortly after you leave the hospital to connect you with services for things like food, housing, or jobs. This study is for African American/Black or Hispanic adults aged 18-75 who have had an ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage and face at least three social challenges (social and community, education, economic, neighborhood/environment, or healthcare). The main goal is to see if the SHIFT team can improve your ability to do daily activities, as measured by the Stroke Impact Scale, compared to usual care. The study aims to enroll 275 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
