Abstract
Korean immigrant's knowledge of stroke symptoms and risk factors was assessed in a convenience sample (n = 119) in a Midwestern metropolitan area. Knowledge ranged from very low to moderate. Cluster analysis showed that there were two groups. One cluster had higher knowledge of stroke symptoms and risk factors, but lower knowledge of symptoms and risk factors not associated with stroke. Participants who were older, were not married, and had a history of hypertension had significantly lower knowledge of stroke symptoms and stroke risk factors. Lower knowledge among older adults and/or those who had hypertension is a particular concern because such individuals are at highest risk for stroke. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
