ABSTRACT
Stroke is the second leading cause of mortality in Brazil. Knowledge about stroke risk factors and signs among the Brazilian population is essential for a reduction in the high morbidity and mortality due to cerebrovascular diseases in the country. In this way, Stroke Awareness Campaigns in Santa Maria were organized. In this study, we aimed to report how these campaigns were structured from the years 2010 to 2017. Over eight years: 283 people helped directly in the organization and dissemination of this project; 1886 attended all "AVC Stations" and received individualized guidelines according to their risk factors profile; 3220 received informational leaflets and general guidelines regarding stroke.
Keywords: Stroke, cerebrum, risk factors
