Кратко

About half of the world's children with epilepsy do not receive treatment - known as the epilepsy treatment gap - with significantly higher rates (67%-90%) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We will conduct the first cluster-randomized clinical trial (cRCT) to determine the efficacy, implementation, and cost-effectiveness of a novel intervention shifting childhood epilepsy care to epilepsy-trained community health extension workers in an effort to close the epilepsy treatment gap. This research will provide information to help extend epilepsy treatment to children in LMICs and worldwide who suffer from untreated seizures.
