A Pragmatic Trial of HOBSCOTCH in Georgia
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Epilepsy
In brief
This study is being done to answer the question: Will a home-based self-management program, HOBSCOTCH, be effective in improving quality of life and perceived difficulties in cognitive abilities by teaching problem-solving strategies? The research team is also looking at a new mobile application that was developed to go with the program, and looking at extra booster sessions to improve long-term outcomes. In order to learn about the effectiveness of the program, half of the people in this study will be randomly assigned to be in the intervention immediately. The other half will be randomly assigned to a 6-month waitlist period before getting the intervention. All participants will receive the program at some point during the study.
