Specifically, this research was aimed at determining the benefits of policy and practice options already existing in the Australian health care system for the long-term management of stroke. The major themes of this thesis include managing risk factors after a stroke, improving knowledge of prevention strategies in survivors, and managing unmet needs after a stroke. Evidence from this thesis could help inform policy and practice decisions on how to better support people with stroke in the community.
