Increasing the Awareness of Stroke Among Canadian Women.

Previous studies have shown that there is increased mortality of cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke among Canadian women. The morbidity of stroke is also higher among Canadian women because they are less likely to recover from stroke, and they generally tend to have a greater disability from a stroke when compared to men. In order to help minimize these issues, six interventional strategies were evaluated using four criteria: 1) the evidence-based criterion, 2) the socioeconomic-based criterion, 3) the ethics-based criterion, and 4) the sustainable-based criterion.
