This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a one-week multifaceted Stroke Urgency Recognition, and Action Awareness (SURA'A) consultation-based campaign in increasing stroke awareness and the intention to seek emergency medical help among adults. The research will be conducted at primary health care centers to determine if this specific educational approach can improve the community's response to stroke symptoms.
The study will employ a multifaceted campaign based on the SURA'A consultation framework over a period of one week. Participants from primary health care centers will be involved to assess their baseline knowledge and intention regarding stroke. Following the intervention, changes in their awareness levels and help-seeking intentions will be measured and analyzed. This research is approved by the Research Ethical Approval Committee at the University of Baghdad, College of Nursing.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Stroke Action Test (STAT) | The Stroke Action Test (STAT) is a validated tool used to assess the participants' knowledge of stroke symptoms and their intended behavioral response (intention to seek help) when witnessing a stroke. It consists of multiple scenarios or questions. Scores are calculated based on correct identified actions, with higher scores indicating better knowledge and more appropriate intended response to stroke symptoms. | Baseline (before the campaign) and 1 week later (immediately after the campaign). |
| action/intention medical help-seeking sub-scale | This sub-scale is a component of the Stroke Action Test (STAT). It specifically measures the participants' behavioral intentions and their promptness in seeking medical emergency services (e.g., calling an ambulance) when recognizing stroke signs. It presents various scenarios to evaluate whether the participant would take the correct life-saving action. | Baseline (before the campaign) and 1 week later (immediately after the campaign |
