WEBSITE: http://www.teachertube.com Stroke is the third leading cause of death in America. Someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds and there are 795000 new or recurrent strokes annually. Stroke is also a leading cause of severe longterm disability as it can cause paralysis vision problems memory loss and speech/language problems.
Tragically African Americans are almost twice as likely to suffer a firstever stroke as compared with white Americans. Immediate emergency medical treatment may greatly reduce longterm disability caused by stroke but unfortunately African American men and women hesitate to call 911.
The Stroke Awareness campaign which began in April 2003 aims to arm the public with the knowledge that a fast reaction to stroke symptoms is critical in potentially lessening the devastating results of a stroke.
The new African Americantargeted PSAs featuring comedians Alonzo Bodden and George Wilborn use the comedians standup routines juxtaposed with their compelling Strokes No Joke messages to illustrate the seriousness of stroke. Individuals are directed to the new website www.strokesnojoke.org where they can learn more about the risk factors and warning signs of stroke.
