(Pilot) Parenteral interventions to support families of children with neurodisability in low resource settings (360G-Wellcome-202980_Z_16_Z)

£28,916

I plan to conduct cross sectional surveys in five demographic surveillance sites across sub-Saharan Africa, to identify cases of active convulsive epilepsy (ACE). This cohort will be used to determine the prevalence of ACE and the extent of the number of people not receiving treatment (treatmetn gap) in these sites, identify the causes (particularly parasitic diseases that could be prevented) and establish cohorts of people with epilepsy, from which the magnitude and causes of excess mortality a ssociated with epilepsy can be determined. In addition, a community based intervention will be tested through a randomised cluster trial in one of the sites, to reduce the treatment gap and improve the quality of life of people with epilepsy in this area.
