Assessing Adherence to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Screening in Young Stroke Survivors.

Background: Over 795 000 US people per year experience a stroke, and 10% are younger than 50 years. After a stroke, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects 10% to 30% of those patients and may compromise a survivor's secondary prevention compliance. At an inner-city clinic in Maryland where up to 300 young adult stroke survivors are followed, zero patients were screened for PTSD.
