Educational inequalities in stroke knowledge and symptom recognition following a national Danish stroke campaign: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Public stroke campaigns may have informational gaps, which are essential to identify to improve outcomes in stroke awareness and response. We evaluated the impact of a national stroke campaign on knowledge of stroke, and symptom recognition, in relation to educational level.

Methods

Six cross-sectional post-campaign surveys were conducted (2019-2022) using a Danish responder panel (n = 2000 first survey, n = 1000 each of the following) after the launch of a stroke awareness campaign. Using logistic regression analysis we tested associations between campaign recall and each of the three parameters: knowledge of stroke, symptom recognition, and knowledge of correct call-to-action. Analyses were stratified by educational level.
