Purpose: Research into epilepsy has experienced decades of chronic underfunding compared to other neurological conditions despite its prevalence and seriousness. To evidence the need for greater investment, the Epilepsy Research Institute (formerly Epilepsy Research UK) funded, led and managed a James Lind Alliance (JLA) Priority Setting Partnership (PSP). This "industry standard" methodology brings together healthcare professionals, patients, carers and patient group representatives to identify and prioritise research uncertainties within a defined area of health or care.

Article Synopsis
- Mothers significantly influence the media culture at home, with children often mimicking their media habits.
- A study identified four distinct profiles of maternal media use among 268 mothers, revealing differing levels of media engagement and its impact on parenting behaviors.
- Findings indicate that mothers with low media use create healthier media environments for their children, while those with high social media use experience more issues related to problematic media use for both themselves and their children.
Objective: To characterize the experience of people with epilepsy and aligned healthcare workers (HCWs) during the first 18 months of the COVID-19 pandemic and compare experiences in high-income countries (HICs) with non-HICs.
Methods: Separate surveys for people with epilepsy and HCWs were distributed online in April 2020. Responses were collected to September 2021.
