Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of a self-management program for epilepsy.
SIP24-008 Economic analysis of an evidence-based MEW epilepsy self-management intervention (MINDSET) in community and healthcare settings.
This study is looking at how the MINDSET program can help people with epilepsy manage their condition better and whether it’s worth the cost, so that patients can enjoy a better quality of life.

What this research studies
This research focuses on analyzing the costs and effectiveness of the Managing Epilepsy Well (MEW) self-management program, known as MINDSET, in both community and healthcare settings. It aims to assess how well this program helps patients manage their epilepsy through structured action planning with healthcare providers. By using both retrospective and prospective data, the study will evaluate the financial implications and overall benefits of implementing this program, ultimately aiming to improve the quality of life for individuals living with epilepsy.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals diagnosed with epilepsy who are seeking to improve their self-management skills.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have epilepsy or are not interested in self-management strategies may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could provide valuable insights into how self-management programs can enhance the quality of life for patients with epilepsy.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success with similar self-management programs for chronic conditions, indicating potential for positive outcomes in this area as well.
