Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of epilepsy self-management programs
Economic Evaluation of MEW Network Epilepsy Self-Management Programs
This study looks at how much the UPLIFT and PACES programs, which help people with epilepsy manage their condition and improve their mental health, cost and what benefits they bring, so we can better support and promote these helpful programs in healthcare.

What this research studies
This research investigates the economic aspects of the Managing Epilepsy Well (MEW) Network's self-management programs for epilepsy, specifically UPLIFT and PACES. These programs aim to improve health outcomes for individuals with epilepsy by focusing on mental health and self-management strategies. The research will analyze data from previous trials to assess the costs and benefits of these programs, which could help in securing funding and promoting their use in healthcare settings. By understanding the economic impact, the goal is to enhance the adoption and sustainability of these valuable programs.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals living with epilepsy who may benefit from self-management strategies and support.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have epilepsy or those who are not interested in self-management programs may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to broader access and funding for effective epilepsy self-management programs, improving the quality of life for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success with similar self-management programs for epilepsy, indicating a promising approach for improving patient outcomes.
