- Abstract
The article discusses a report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzing data collected from the 2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey which indicate a low percentage of respondents recognized the warning symptoms of stroke. Stroke symptom warning system awareness also varied by race, ethnicity, sex, and education level. Survey results showed no improvement in the awareness of stroke warning symptoms from a previous survey conducted in 2001. The need for an population increase in awareness of stroke warning symptoms is expressed.
