Engaging CULTUREs and tackling stigma in epilepsy
Mission of the project
Mission of the project
The purpose of this research is to learn more about the relationship between one’s culture, beliefs and medical condition, particularly epilepsy. This project seeks to explore the possibility of engaging cultural institutions globally to raise awareness of the stigma of epilepsy. The overall aim is to reduce the level of discrimination against affected individuals. This is achieved through research in three areas: the level of knowledge of such diseases among culturally diverse communities, the level of trust toward cultural leaders and medical practitioners for medical information and education, and current engagement efforts undertaken by cultural institutions to combat stigma against epilepsy.
