Study Summary

Fifty-eight percent of children with new-onset epilepsy do not take their antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) as prescribed, which is associated with continued seizures, mortality, poor quality of life, and high healthcare costs. Evidence-based adherence interventions are lacking and critically needed, especially for children with epilepsy, who represent an underserved population in pediatrics. The current proposal is a mHealth sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial (SMART) focused on providing education, automated digital reminders, and individualized adherence feedback, as well as teaching problem-solving skills, with the goal of improving adherence and quality of life and decreasing seizures and health care utilization.
