Some 'Thank You's
July 2004
Michelle Bellon of Flinders University would like to thank all who participated in her study of post traumatic epilepsy (Headlines 61). The excellent response from readers greatly assisted in offering an indepth insight into the nature and impact of epilepsy which results from brain injury.
Deirdre McLaughlin, of University of Queensland, greatly appreciates the help of all who participated in her study into issues affecting older people with epilepsy. In between tending to the cattle on her new farm, Deirdre is currently analysing the research results and completing her thesis. Deirdre's study on the needs of families with epilepsy appeared in Headlines 61.
The director of the Tasmanian Epilepsy Register at the Menzies Centre for Population Health Research, Dr Wendyl D’Souza would like to thank all who responded to their questionnaire - over 4000 Tasmanians on AEDs are now being contacted. "This is an excellent participation rate... in both national and international terms." The Centre is seeking funds to extend the study.
