Abstract
Racial disparities in stroke outcomes have been described for over a century. Racial and ethnic inequities in care and disparities in outcomes exist across the continuum of stroke care. In this commentary, I discuss several themes that emerged from the recent article, Strategies to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Inequities in Stroke Preparedness, Care, Recovery, and Risk Factor Control: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association. This statement provides a comprehensive overview of interventions aimed at reducing racial and ethnic disparities and highlights gaps in knowledge and research priorities.
