Webinar on April 16 to focus on identifying adults with epilepsy
A new screening instrument to identify adults with epilepsy in population-based studies will be explored in the next CLSA webinar on April 16, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Dr. Mark Keezer from the United Kingdom will discuss his work in the developing the new tool and how this work involved data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
