ABSTRACT
Medical data and information are ubiquitous due to internet availability. However, most people persist in using and trusting their healthcare professionals for health information. They are increasingly flooded with health information from diverse sources such as the internet, community-based organizations, and family or friends. It is crucial to understand where stroke patients vary in the use and trust of health information to improve their conditions. This pilot study aimed to better understand the nature of the problems confronted by stroke patients, such as the source of reliable health information, trust in the healthcare system, and technology trend awareness. African American and Afro-Caribbean stroke patients (n=64) residing in Central Brooklyn, New York, participated in a survey. The results showed that physicians remained the most highly trusted information sources for stroke patients, particularly among patients with higher education, irrespective of the available communication sources.
