Abstract
The Hispanic population is the fastest growing minority population in the United States. Little research has been done to address the stroke risk in the Hispanic population that has a higher prevalence of diabetes, alcohol use, and physical inactivity. To change behavior and decrease the risk of stroke, a comprehensive program that combines education, risk identification, and follow-up is needed. The purpose of this article is to identify the increased risk factors of stroke in the Hispanic population, identify the barriers to health care, and outline the development of a stroke education and screening program for Hispanics.
