People who have had a stroke or tIA who are willing to add their contact information to a Register, and are willing to be contacted about research at a later date.
What would you be asked to do if you agree to participate?
If you agree to participate in this study, you will be asked to sign the Participant Consent Form. You will then be asked to provide contact information for you, your carer (if you have one) and information about the date and type of TIA or stroke you suffered (bleed or blockage).
