A recent paper - The information needs of parents of children with early-onset epilepsy:

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Parents need understandable information about early-onset epilepsy and associated comorbidities throughout their child’s lifespan.

• Unmet information needs can impede access to healthcare resources, and reduce parent capacity to manage and cope with their child’s condition.

• Parents experience challenges accessing clinicians with expertise in early-onset epilepsy.

• Focused early-onset epilepsy education for local health care providers is recommended.

We work with this research group and have parent representation on their consumer group.
