Title: Preventing Recurrence of Thromboembolic Events Through Coordinated Treatment in the District of Columbia
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to refine and evaluate the Preventing Recurrence of Thromboembolic Events through Coordinated Treatment in the District of Columbia (PROTECT DC) intervention. PROTECT DC is a program consisting of in-hospital education coupled with community-based "stroke navigators" and is designed to reduce the rate of vascular events or death in a population of underserved individuals with stroke.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Males and females
* Over 17 years of age.
* Diagnosis of first probable or definite TIA or non-disabling stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale \< 6)
* Post-event interval of \<90 days.
* Residence within 75 km of intervention site.
* Orientation to time, place and person and ability to follow simple 3-step commands.
* Ability and willingness to provide informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Evidence of intracranial hemorrhage on MRI or CT scan.
* Presence of contraindications to exercise testing and training, in accordance with American College of Sports Medicine Guidelines.
* Participation in another study that could potentially confound the outcomes of this trial.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects aged 40 years or older.
* Patients with a clinical diagnosis of stroke; symptoms lasting 24 hours or more.
* Computed tomography (CT)-scan of the brain must either show a new infarct or be normal. Patients only with infarcts without clinical symptoms cannot be included.
* Inclusion shall take place before day 90 after stroke onset.
* Informed consent after verbal and written information.
* The patient must be able to walk either unaided or with a cane or a walker.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients who are unable to understand the information, or who cannot cooperate, are excluded.
* Patients confined to a wheelchair or bed.
* CT-scanning showing intracranial haemorrhage or focal pathology other than infarction, cerebral atrophy, or leucoaraiosis.
* Modified Rankin score of 4 or 5 before the actual stroke.
* Serious medical disease such as AIDS, metastatic cancer, or abnormalities that the investigator feels may compromise the patient's successful participation in the trial.
* Earlier randomisation in this trial.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age ≥ 18 years
* Hospitalized due to ischemic stroke\* or intercurrent ischemic stroke\* event within the past 30 days OR Transient ischemic attack, confirmed by stroke neurologist.
* Atherogenic etiology(large vessel, small vessel, cryptogenic with at least one stroke risk factor, or embolic stroke due to atherogenic cardiac disease) as defined by TOAST criteria.
* Community dwelling prior to stroke
* Resides within the District of Columbia or closely nearby (preferably within 10 miles of the DC border)
* Expected to reside within the District of Columbia or closely nearby (preferably within 10 miles of DC border)
* Caregiver or interested party available, if moderately or severely disabled (not required to actually reside with participant)
* Sufficient number of collateral contacts to assure follow-up. Defined as: Preferred: at least 6 contacts; and No fewer than 3 contacts (unless approved by study PI/co-PI/co-I)
* Judged likely to return to community setting at completion of post-acute care.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Non-atherogenic cause of stroke
* NIHSS \> 20
* Any medical condition that would limit participation in follow up assessments
* Baseline dementia per informant report (AD8) or screening assessment (Short Blessed Memory Orientation Concentration Test)
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients of LAC+USC, Rancho Los Amigos, Olive View-UCLA, or Harbor-UCLA
* Patients who have had an acute transient ischemic attack (TIA) or ischemic stroke or carotid procedure within the last six months
* English or Spanish speaking
* At least 40 years of age
* Capable of giving informed consent (no proxies will be used to obtain consent)
* Blood pressure not optimally controlled (\>120/80, at least 72 hours post-stroke)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Age 39 years or younger
* Hemorrhagic stroke
* Patients with severe global disability which would preclude him/her from participating in group clinics
* Patients with advanced dementia
