Want to learn about stroke prevention? Prescribing Prevention is a good place to start!

Prescribing Prevention contains family stories, patient checklists, and a 'tools' section including a myths survey form. It is a bilingual print and web resource that is meant to demystify and illustrate the relationship between health promotion and prevention of stroke.

Prescribing Prevention has been written for health providers caring for individuals with stroke, or at high risk for stroke, to enlarge their understanding of health promotion and how it can be effectively applied in their clinical settings. Through the case studies, strategies ranging from the secondary prevention of stroke to broader health promotion activities are introduced.

Prescribing Prevention is now available in two formats:

• Prescribing Prevention - PDF version (1.19MB) - download it in printer-friendly format and print some or all of it.
• Prescribing Prevention - Hard copies - available free in single or multiple copies in English and French.
