title: [Sociological effects of cerebrovascular accidents. What does the clinician expect from the epidemiologist?].
abstract: Epidemiological research has developed along two principal paths: determination of the prevalence and incidence of cerebrovascular accidents. In this respect, there is already a useful collection of data, though inadequate and, from a specifically French standpoint, new studies are required; research into risk factors, and in this area, also, available facts are sufficient to determine primary and secondary prevention strategies, though remain inadequate. The Authors suggest widening areas of epidemiological enquiry, in particular involving short, middle and long-term hospital stays, and family or community life following the accident. Mention is made of the value of developing socio-economic studies by methods of human capital and personal preferences.
