Research
 
The Emory University School of Public Health is developing and testing an internet-based program called WebEase.  WebEase is for people with epilepsy to assist with medication taking, managing stress, and improving quality of sleep.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has funded the development and testing of the WebEase program.

What is WebEase?

WebEase is an internet program that supports the self-management of epilepsy by people with epilepsy.  It offers information on three major topics as they relate to epilepsy: medication management, stress management, and sleep management.

How does the research study work?

To begin the study, each person completes a brief survey about medications, stress, and sleep.  Then participants work through the WebEase program.  WebEase consists of three modules: medication, stress, and sleep.
