Based on Healthy People 2020 Heart Disease and Stroke Objective number 17.1: recommended stroke knowledge.
Percentage-point change reflects the difference in prevalence between 2014 and 2009. Adjusted prevalence ratios reflect the prevalence ratio of awareness in 2014 compared with 2009.
Non-Hispanic Asian includes Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, and other Asian subgroups. “Other” race/ethnicity includes American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian Indian, Pacific Islander, other race, and multiple races.
Completed education assessed for adults ≥25 years of age; participants younger than 25 were included in the sample but not analyzed as a subgroup. Participants with unknown education level were excluded.
Family income-to-poverty ratio is the ratio of the family’s income to the appropriate federal poverty threshold.
Medical care deferred due to cost was assessed with the question “During the past 12 months, has medical care been delayed because of worry about the cost?”
History of major cardiovascular disease was assessed with the question, “Have you ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that you had coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, heart attack (MI), any kind of heart condition or heart disease, or stroke?”
