Summary

The goal of this experimental study is to evaluate the efficacy of five educational strategies for recognizing early symptoms of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) in the general adult population. The main questions it aims to answer are: \- How effective are the strategies RAPIDO, CORRE, DALE, CAMALEON, and ICTUS 911 in improving the recognition of early CVD symptoms? Researchers will compare these strategies to determine which one leads to the highest increase in symptom recognition. Participants will receive a brief educational session on one of the five strategies and will: * Complete a pre- and post-intervention survey (Stroke Awareness Questionnaire, SAQ). * Receive short training on CVD symptoms and the urgency of contacting emergency services. The primary outcome is the improvement in SAQ scores, and the secondary outcome is the proportion of participants achieving adequate knowledge of CVD symptoms.

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Mnemonic-Based Educational Training for Stroke Symptom Recognition	This is a Culturally Adapted Mnemonic-Based Educational Strategies for Rapid Stroke Symptom Recognition in the Spanish-Speaking Population. It uses five distinct mnemonic strategies (RAPIDO, CORRE, DALE, CAMALEON, ICTUS 911), each specifically tailored for a Spanish-speaking audience. Aims to improve the recognition of early cerebrovascular disease symptoms, differentiating it from other clinical studies that might focus on different health conditions or target populations. Emphasizes its focus on rapid action by educating participants about stroke symptoms and the importance of contacting emergency services (911).
