F.O.C.U.S on Epilepsy

The Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan and the University of Michigan's Center for Managing Chronic Disease (CDC) are currently conducting a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded, randomized controlled research study to test the effectiveness of a program for adults with epilepsy that provides:

• The latest research findings on quality of life and epilepsy
• Tools and a simple approach to tackling problems related to epilepsy
• One-on-one support in selecting and working on a problem
• Time to share and socialize with other people living with epilepsy 

We look forward to sharing the results of this study and offering this program to adults with epilepsy and their caregivers. For additional information on this and other CDC-funded epilepsy self-management research, visit the Managing Epilepsy Well Network website.
