| Abstract: | PURPOSE: The Stigma in Epilepsy Task Force (n=15 international members) was created (2010) by the ILAE North American Commission. Its first objective was to carry out an extensive review of the international literature addressing the following topics: (1) Available tools to measure stigma; (2) Frequency and nature of stigma; (3) Factors associated with stigma; (4) Interventions to reduce stigma. METHOD: A comprehensive literature search (1985–2010) was performed in 11 electronic databases (e.g. Medline, Embase) using a broad search strategy developed with guidance from a systematic review expert librarian, to identify papers relating to stigma in people with epilepsy (PWE).Two independent reviewers screened abstracts, reviewed full text articles and extracted data. Included articles were also hand searched for additional references. There were no language exclusions. Basic descriptive statistics were used to report the findings. [excerpt] |
