Interventions

  • Tele-delivered Behavioral Activation by lay counselors after Stroke (Tele-BA-S) — BEHAVIORAL
    The Tele-BA-S intervention will comprise 5 weekly video-conferenced BA sessions delivered by trained lay counselors, homework, and 2 monthly follow-up booster calls. Participants will receive the standard hospital discharge post-stroke educational packet and a scheduled follow-up appointment with a stroke practitioner to evaluate patients at 7-14 days and 3 months ±14 days, according to current standard of care. They will be seen over video or in-person, according to their preference and capabilities.
  • Treatment as Usual — BEHAVIORAL
