Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.
