A cross-sectional study highlights gaps in stroke knowledge in university students, suggesting targeted educational campaigns are necessary.
Although two-thirds of students have basic stroke knowledge, important gaps remain in recognizing acute symptoms (e.g., sudden numbness or confusion), in understanding modifiable risk factors, and in precise medical/scientific knowledge about stroke, which may delay emergency care and hinder prevention. Targeted, evidence‑based educational campaigns especially for students without personal stroke exposure are needed to turn knowledge into lifesaving action and reduce the future burden of stroke.
