Brief Summary:
Evaluating changes in knowledge attitude and practices KAP related to epilepsy and its treatment as a result of an educational intervention among adolescents with epilepsy to determine if improved KAP about epilepsy results in improved medication adherence and less perceived stigma
Detailed Description:
This proof-of-concept study aims to evaluate the impact of a targeted health literacy intervention on knowledge and attitudes about epilepsy and its treatment and reported medication adherence and stigma among adolescents with epilepsy in Uganda
Research Questions
1 What is the impact of a culturally relevant information session on the knowledge of epilepsy and its treatment among adolescents with epilepsy in Uganda
2 What is the impact of such an educational session on reported medication adherence and reported stigma among this group
The investigators hypothesize that a culturally relevant educational intervention will significantly improve knowledge about epilepsy and its treatment increase medication adherence and reduce stigma among adolescents with epilepsy in Uganda This hypothesis is based on the premise that tailored health literacy interventions can address specific misconceptions and barriers to care thereby improving health outcomes for PWE persons with epilepsy in contexts burdened by significant treatment gaps and cultural stigmatization
