Introduction: Low- and middle-income countries, such as Brazil, are most impacted by the high burden of recurrent stroke. These countries also lack structured interventions to promote the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors in the context of stroke secondary prevention. In contrast, high-income countries, such as Ireland, which invest more in research, have more advanced studies on this topic. However, before implementing interventions developed in countries like Ireland in middle-income countries like Brazil, it is necessary to adapt them to account for cultural and socioeconomic differences. Furthermore, once the adaptation is made, it is essential to investigate the feasibility of implementing the intervention in the new context.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of implementing the Brazilian adaptation of the Irish intervention iHELP Stroke: Improving Health and Lifestyle Programme, which aims to promote the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors post-stroke. Methodology: This is a phase 1 interventional feasibility study, using a pre- and post-intervention design, to be conducted with ten individuals post-stroke, residing in Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil. The intervention will consist of eight sessions: one educational session, one individual session, and six group sessions, held weekly. The outcomes of interest will include feasibility (recruitment, intervention, and measurement) and clinical outcomes (achievement of the main goal defined by the participants and the number/proportion of participants who meet this goal). Descriptive statistics will be used for analysis.

Conclusions: The results of this feasibility study will provide valuable insights for designing subsequent phases of a clinical trial.
