The Tele-Taking Charge After Stroke Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial

For adults diagnosed with acute stroke who are discharged to community living (non-institutionalized), we wish to evaluate whether delivering two Take Charge sessions by telehealth is (1) acceptable to the population of Southern Alberta, and (2) feasible to do. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either two Tele-Take Charge sessions or one tele-education session (Life After Stroke video) by telehealth (the active control). The primary feasibility outcome will be recruitment rate. Secondary outcomes will be measured by a blinded outcomes assessor at 6 and 12 months, either by e-questionnaire or by telephone. Those who received Tele-Take Charge will also be asked to complete an acceptability questionnaire, and will be invited to take part in an in-depth interview about their experience as part of a qualitative substudy.
