The research has the aim of investigating the living conditions of persons with epilepsy.

The action research will target persons with epilepsy of all genders in three districts. The research will be administered in Rural and Urban areas of Blantyre (T/A Machinjiri and Kuntaja), Lilongwe (T/A Tsabango) and Chikwawa Districts (T/A Ngabu)
