Chapter 10. Raising awareness of stroke, stroke survivor-perspectives, and stroke–carer research

The aim of this chapter is to propose a research agenda that will promote awareness of stroke warning signs and risk for stroke in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. The targeted community in this case, is the Greek immigrant community in Australia. The research agenda also advocates a better understanding of CALD stroke survivors and carers needs to enable capacity-building to encourage wellbeing by supporting unmet needs. This will have a positive impact on health, care and psychosocial outcomes for people living with stroke deficits from CALD backgrounds and their carers and families who support them in everyday life.
