ABSTRACT
Since the Asia and Oceania region has tremendous variety in cultural and religious background, the author would like to propose the formation of a research committee with representatives from different countries under the Commission on Asian & Oceanean Affairs to study the psychosocial and cultural aspects of epilepsy. A uniform study protocol can be designed to collect data on “public awareness, understanding and attitudes toward epilepsy” and “patients’ perception of having epilepsy.” The survey can be done among the general population, patients with epilepsy, family members, health providers, or school teachers.
