Effects of an Educational Comic Book on Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Epilepsy among Adolescents in Quito, Ecuador

A quasi-experimental study of 344 adolescents in Quito found that an educational comic book significantly improved median global knowledge-attitudes-practices (KAP) scores from 11.5 to 15.1. Students showed greater improvements regardless of baseline knowledge, though those with prior seizure exposure improved less, suggesting comic-based education effectively reduces epilepsy stigma in diverse adolescent populations.
