Healthy Aging in People With Epilepsy Program
This study is testing an educational program called "Healthy Aging in People with Epilepsy Program" for people aged 55 to 90 who have epilepsy. The program is a 12-week group class that teaches about healthy aging, managing long-term health problems, dementia (a decline in memory and thinking skills), and lifestyle changes that can reduce dementia risk. The main goal is to see if this education can improve your knowledge about dementia and aging, and potentially improve your quality of life. You'll be asked to complete surveys before and after the program to help researchers understand how well it works and any challenges you face in getting care.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 380 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the educational program or be in a control group.
- What's involved
- If you are in the intervention group, you will complete a 12-week group educational program. Both groups will complete evaluations before and after the program.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your dementia knowledge, program acceptability, and satisfaction will be measured at 3 months after the program ends.

What this trial measures
- Dementia KnowledgeBaseline (Week 0) and post-intervention (Month 3)
Dementia Knowledge Assessment Tool was designed to measure change in knowledge of dementia including dementia and its progress, support, and care. It contains 21 true/false items (higher score indicates greater dementia knowledge).
- Acceptability of Study ProgramPost-intervention (Month 3)
Defined by participation rate of 80% or greater in intervention (higher number indicates greater acceptability of the program)
- Program SatisfactionPost-intervention (Month 3)
As assessed by Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (Min-Max 8-32, higher number is greater satisfaction)
- Epilepsy Self-ManagementBaseline (Week 0) and post-intervention (Month 3)
Use of epilepsy self-management practices will be assessed with the Epilepsy Self-Management Scale (Min-Max 38-190, higher score means more frequent use of self-management strategies).
- Attitudes about AgingBaseline (Week 0) and post-intervention (Month 3)
As measured by the Attitudes about Aging questionnaire (3 subscales with Min-Max 8-40; for two subscales, higher score mean more positive attitude; and for the third subscale, higher score means more negative attitude)
