Neighborhood Resources and Health Outcomes Among Stroke Survivors in a Population-Based Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke survivors believe neighborhood resources such as community centers are beneficial; however, little is known about the influence of these resources on stroke outcomes.

The exposure was density of neighborhood resources (eg, community centers, restaurants, stores) within a residential census tract at stroke onset.
