The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to learn whether the BE FAST (Balance, Eyes, Face, Arm, Speech, and Time) acronym works at least as well or better than the F.A.S.T. (Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call 911) acronym in helping participants learn and remember the warning signs of a stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will:

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| BE FAST Group | Experimental | The experimental BE FAST acronym education messaging, including 5 stroke warning signs and a call-to-action to call 911, will be shown to the participants using a brief video. |
|
| F.A.S.T. Group | Active Comparator | The comparator F.A.S.T. acronym education messaging, including 3 stroke warning signs and a call-to-action to call 911, will be shown to the participants using a brief video. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BE FAST Educational video | Other | A 1-minute educational video format using BE FAST. Each acronym will be visually displayed in the video and audio voice over of each letter and corresponding phrase will be audible in English. The look, feel, and messaging in each video will be the same except for the acronyms. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Intent to Call 911 30-Days Post Education | The identification of calling 9-1-1 as the accurate immediate action to stroke being suspected at 30-days post-educational intervention. Outcome is not being reported on a scale. We are using dichotomous coding of correct or incorrect response, with the response of "Call 9-1-1" being the correct response from the pick list. | 30 days |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Warning Signs Net Positive Accuracy Score 30-Days Post Education | Net positive accuracy score on the common letters (symptoms) in both acronyms on a letter-aided open-ended basis at 30-days post-educational intervention. Outcome is not being reported on a scale. We are using dichotomous coding for the letters in each acronym, where 0 = completely incorrect and 1 = fully correct (i.e. higher scores mean a better outcome). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Intent to Call 911 Immediately Post-Education | The identification of calling 9-1-1 as the accurate immediate action to stroke being suspected immediately following the educational intervention. Outcome is not being reported on a scale. We are using dichotomous coding of correct or incorrect response, with the response of "Call 9-1-1" being the correct response from the pick list. | Immediately after intervention |

A randomized parallel 2-group design will be used to allow a rigorous assessment of the comparative efficacy of the two acronyms (BE FAST and F.A.S.T.) among English-speaking adults of diverse race and ethnicity.
