Health Literacy Project

During the pre-to-post-test interval for the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) measure, participants in this arm will take a break and have lunch.

The Intervention is a 90 minute small group (n=6-10) session with an expert epilepsy provider reviewing fundamental information about epilepsy being a treatable neurologic condition, with topics including epidemiology, causation facts and myths, treatment and the importance of consistent medication, stigma, barriers to care and well-being. These topics will be covered in the first 45 minutes, leaving the second 45 minutes for Q\&A with the expert. This session provides the basic health information relevant to people with epilepsy, communication of which is often sacrificed in overcrowded clinics found in low resource settings.
