Help test a survey for epilepsy self-management

Tue, 11/05/2013 - 10:50
Ever wonder what it takes to manage your epilepsy? For people with easy to control seizures, taking medicines may be the main part of your seizure management. But for others, treatment can be more complex and seizures may affect many aspects of your life. The Managing Epilepsy Well Network is conducting a survey to understand how adults manage their epilepsy. The information obtained from this survey will help researchers find better ways to assess how someone with epilepsy manages their condition. People can then use the information to learn how helpful programs and services are and develop better ways of helping people with epilepsy. Are you 18 years of age or older? Have you been diagnosed with epilepsy or a seizure disorder? If yes to these questions, and you are interested in participating in this study, please visit http://survey.emory.edu/fs-MEWSMSef.aspx. Or contact Yvan Bamps at ybamps@emory.edu OR 404-727-7043. This study is based at Emory University School of Public Health, Department of Behavioral and Health Education. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Epilepsy Program is sponsoring the study. Thanks for considering this! Epihelp
