James Smith Stroke Study
Evaluating stakeholder exercise preferences in stroke: A Discrete Choice Experiment
James is inviting you to take part in a research study being carried out at Lancaster University. This study is part of a larger project, aiming to develop a new exercise-based intervention for stroke survivors.
James wants to understand what programme features are most important to stroke survivors, family members and carers,
To do this, he is running an online survey called a discrete choice experiment (DCE).
In the survey, you will be shown a series of options for exercise programmes that differ in things like location, cost, and type of support. For each set, you will be asked to choose the option you prefer.
Your views will help us design exercise programmes that are more effective, accessible, and acceptable for stroke survivors.
The survey should take about 5–15 minutes.
Taking part is voluntary, and you can stop at any time.
Your answers will be kept anonymous and confidential. More details can be found within the participant information sheet.

Why is this research important?
Exercise has been shown to have both physical and psychological benefits to stroke survivors and has recently been incorporated into clinical guidelines. This study will ensure that our designed intervention will not only be clinically effective but also acceptable, accessible, and sustainable.
