This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $159,000.00 to the University of Pittsburgh to examine the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial comparing the synergistic effects of strategy training plus acceptance and commitment therapy (ST+ACT) to strategy training (ST) alone for improving social participation, psychological flexibility, and well-being outcomes in community-dwelling chronic stroke survivors. The study aims to compare participant retention, engagement, intervention dose, fidelity, and satisfaction between the two intervention approaches. It also hypothesizes that ST+ACT will lead to significantly greater improvements in social participation, psychological flexibility, and well-being compared to ST alone, both immediately after the intervention and at 1-month follow-up. This research directly addresses priorities specified in the NIH Rehabilitation Research Plan and will provide critical pilot data to inform future large-scale clinical studies seeking to optimize social participation, well-being, and health for stroke survivors.
