Abstract
Given current trends, Mississippi will not come close to meeting the National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives for the Year 2000 for reducing stroke mortality (Table). Without major population-based public health initiatives, stroke will remain a leading cause of morbidity, disability, and mortality and a major source of health care costs in the state for the foreseeable future.
