  During my acute care rotation, I saw a great deal of stroke patients. Providing stroke education to these patients was included in our evaluation. This included education regarding warning signs of stroke (BE FAST) and why it was important for patients to be cognizant of these signs. This study examined public knowledge and awareness of FAST in recognizing signs and symptoms of a stroke. The study included 1300 members of a mixed rural/urban multiethnic population. Results indicated that 70% of the surveyed population were aware of the FAST campaign, but many were not aware of all warning signs. This provides implications for therapists in the importance of providing stroke education.
