Abstract
Stroke, a major cause of disability and death, affects 800,000 people in the US annually. Little is known about the lived experience of stroke survivors as they transition to the community. The proposed study will explore this phenomenon to inform healthcare providers about best practices in meeting stroke survivor needs.
