Optimized Recruitment to Drive Equitable Research in Stroke, Empowering Decision-making (ORDERed)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stroke is a major health issue, especially for women, who are more likely than men to have worse outcomes and lower quality of life after a stroke. Yet, women are under-represented in stroke research, which limits how well treatments work for them. This study aims to change that by testing a new way to recruit women into stroke research using the ORDER toolkit, a set of easy-to-understand, women-focused materials like brochures and videos co-designed with patients. This new approach will be compared to the usual way of recruiting patients. The study will track how many people join, how long it takes to make a decision, and what influences participation. Patients and research coordinators will also share their feedback on the process. Our goal is to make stroke studies more inclusive so that research findings benefit everyone equally.
