Prevalence of epilepsy in children of Multnomah County, Oregon
Abstract:
The prevalence of epilepsy among children in the third grade in Multnomah County, Oregon, was investigated by use of a questionnaire similar to that used by Rose et al. (1973). Of the 7,039 potential respondents, 5,317 (75.5%) responded to the questionnaire. A stratified random sample of 161 children was drawn from the respondents, and of these 129 (80%) underwent physical and EEG examinations. This replication of the study by Rose et al. (1973) yielded prevalence estimates which were somewhat lower than those reported by Rose et al. for Washington County, Maryland. Our findings suggest that the questionnaire method of estimating the prevalence of epilepsy has promise; further investigation of the method is in progress.
