摘要：What is known about this topic? Awareness of stroke signs and symptoms and the need to call 9-1-1 when those occur can improve stroke outcomes. What is added by this report? During 2017, high levels of awareness of individual signs and symptoms of stroke and the need to call 9-1-1 when those occur were reported. However, only two thirds of U.S. adults had the combination of all recommended stroke knowledge, with sociodemographic and geographic variation. What are the implications for public health practice? Increasing awareness of the signs and symptoms of stroke continues to be a national priority. Estimates from this report might be used to inform communication strategies that improve awareness and reduce disparities.
