Impact of a Visual-Auditory-Kinesthetic Model-Based Educational Package on Knowledge Regarding Stroke Among Security Guards in a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke is a fatal disease with huge burden worldwide. Nonetheless, it is preventable, provided risk factors are controlled. Modifiable risk factors are associated with 90% of attributable risk for stroke.
