Targeted Self-Management for Epilepsy and Serious Mental Illness
For this project we propose to refine the psychosocial intervention developed in phase one,
based on input from key stakeholders, and to test the feasibility, acceptability and
preliminary efficacy of the intervention. The proposed project addresses unmet public health
needs for a historically hard-to-reach group of individuals with epilepsy and comorbid
serious mental illnesses, and as the intervention is an adjunct to care that individuals
with serious mental illness are already receiving, and uses staff already likely to be
present in a care system, it is ideally suited for "real-world" implementation in people
with epilepsy and serious mental illness (E-SMI).
The purpose of this study is to try and engage individuals with E-SMI to actively
participate in illness self-management and treatment adherence that are crucial in
minimizing the morbidity and mortality associated with both chronic mental disorders and
chronic neurological conditions.
