Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a digital, person-centered stroke prevention program with a focus on primary prevention. The program is aiming to enable lifestyle change and to promote healthy activity patterns to decrease risk factors for stroke and in that way prevent future stroke.

Detailed description

The study is a randomized controlled pilot trial evaluating the feasibility of a digitally augmented person-centered stroke prevention program with a focus on primary prevention. The program is aiming to enable lifestyle change and to promote healthy activity patterns to decrease risk factors for stroke and in that way prevent future stroke. With activity patterns (individual actions and behaviour) in everyday life we mean a persons overall lifestyle that may or may not contribute to health. The prevention program is a theoretically grounded, complex intervention tested against a control-group that are receiving usual care. The prevention program is based on activities in people's everyday lives and integrates health and well-being with what people do, as well as with what they want or need to do, in order to thrive and live well. Lifestyle change refers to a conscious change of behaviour and everyday activities in order to promote health. The process of changing behaviour results from an interaction between the person (eg, self-efficacy), the environment (support and material) and the action. In the project, the key behavioural change technique is incorporating engaging everyday activities (EEAs) that contribute to a healthy lifestyle. This might include changing the form of current EEAs or finding new health-promoting EEAs.

Conditions

• Non-Communicable Diseases
• Stroke
• Cardiovascular Risk Factor

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Prevention program for stroke	The prevention program include individual and group intervention sessions supported by a digital platform. The program will be personally tailored in relation to what the person needs and what to change and the individuals rediness for change.
