02

Qualitative Interview Study

Children and parents tell us about their experiences of living with rolandic epilepsy, including sleep and the impact on learning.

03

CASTLE Online Sleep Intervention – COSI

We wanted to find out, from parents, what they thought we should include or leave out of our online sleep intervention so that we could build a resource that best met their needs.

04

Core Health Outcomes In Childhood Epilepsy – CHOICE

The CHOICE study seeks consensus agreement on which outcomes are most important to measure for children with the most common type of epilepsy.
