Background: Cerebrovascular accidents are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. People with a lower socioeconomic position (SEP) (i.e. with regards to education, income and occupation) are at a higher risk of having a stroke and have worse clinical outcomes compared to the general population. Good knowledge levels about stroke risk factors and warning signs are key to prolonging life and reducing health issues caused by stroke. This systematic review examined differences in knowledge of stroke risk factors and awareness of stroke warning signs with regards to SEP in the WHO European region.Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO and CINAHL were systematically searched to find articles looking at knowledge of risk factors and/or awareness of warning signs of stroke, with results broken down by SEP. A title and abstract screen, and, if appropriate, a full text screen, of these results was carried out, as well as screening reference lists of included studies. Only studies in the English language and those based in the WHO European region were included.Results: Screening identified 2,118 records. In the final review, 20 articles were included, with 67,309 study participants between them. Out of 17 studies that looked at stroke risk factors, 11 found increasing knowledge to be associated with higher SEP, four found no difference by SEP, one showed a mixed pattern and one outlier study found increasing knowledge of risk factors to be associated with a lower SEP. Out of 19 studies that looked at stroke warning signs or symptoms, 15 found there to be better awareness of warning signs with a higher SEP, three found there to be no difference, and the same outlier study found increasing knowledge of warning signs with a lower SEP. Studies that seemed to have a higher quality rating found increasing knowledge of stroke with a higher SEP.Conclusions: In the WHO European region, better knowledge of stroke risk factors and awareness of warning signs is associated with a higher SEP. Public health campaigns and educational interventions aiming to increase stroke awareness should be targeted at people with a lower SEP.
