Read our Stroke research guide →This research study talks with older adults (65 and over) who have had a stroke and are taking antithrombotic medications—blood-thinning drugs prescribed to prevent future strokes. Researchers want to understand what makes it easier or harder for these patients to take their medications regularly, so they can find better ways to support them.
After a stroke, taking blood-thinning medications exactly as prescribed is one of the most important things you can do to prevent another stroke. However, elderly patients often face unique challenges—like memory problems, hearing or vision issues, or living alone—that can make it hard to stick with medications. This study aims to identify these barriers so doctors and pharmacists can help patients succeed.

You will meet with a pharmacist for a semi-structured interview where you'll talk about your experience taking blood-thinning medications—what's been easy, what's been difficult, and any concerns you have. The conversation will be recorded and may take 30 minutes to an hour. This is a one-time visit; there are no ongoing appointments or medications to take as part of the study itself.
