• Description:
  The Community Health Worker’s Training Curriculum for Epilepsy Self-Management contains information and activities on epilepsy and its comorbidities. This information is presented in a format suited for direct training of CHWs. In addition, the appendices include a wealth of resources for epilepsy self-management. The training curriculum is unique because it covers self-management related issues for epilepsy and its comorbidities in plain language.
  
  This curriculum was developed with input from a panel of experts including physicians, epileptologists, public health epilepsy researchers, and leaders in the field of community health workers. Content for the curriculum was obtained mainly from the Epilepsy Foundation website (epilepsy.com) and from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Epilepsy Program (www.cdc.gov/epilepsy) and formatted similarly to the CDC publication “A Community Health Worker Training Resource for Preventing Heart Disease and Stroke.”
