Self-management for People With Epilepsy and a History of Negative Health Events (SMART)
This is an investigation of adult individuals with epilepsy, and involves educational and
behavioral interventions intended to enhance treatment adherence and self-management.
The investigators are adapting a self-management intervention that they developed in a
previous study to individuals with epilepsy and a history of negative health events (NHEs),
such as accidents and emergency department (ED) visits, diminished quality of life and poor
mental well-being. The intervention "Self-management for people with epilepsy and a history
of negative health events (SMART)" is intended to reduce NHEs and improve quality of life in
people with epilepsy associated with historically disadvantaged groups.
