Objective
This study was undertaken to examine the efficacy of a family‐tailored education and problem‐solving behavioral intervention, Supporting Treatment Adherence Regimens (STAR), in young children (2–12 years old) with new onset epilepsy compared to an attention control (i.e., education only [EO]) intervention.

Objective
Nonadherence to prescribed dosing regimens is a significant problem in the treatment of pediatric and adult chronic epilepsy, and can result in severe consequences to patient outcomes. In this first‐of‐kind preclinical study, the impact of nonadherence on seizure control was studied by simulating human patterns of nonadherence in an animal epilepsy model.
Methods
In study 1, three different...
Purpose: Study aims were (1) to document and examine associations between parent‐report and electronic monitoring (EM) of pediatric antiepileptic drug (AED) adherence, (2) to determine the sensitivity and specificity of parent‐reported adherence, and (3) to develop a correction factor for parent‐reported adherence.
Methods: Participants included 111 consecutive children with new‐onset epilepsy (M...
