Self-management for People With Epilepsy and a History of Negative Health Events
Self-management for People With Epilepsy and a History of Negative Health Events
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.
