Running head: Epidemiological Analysis- Chronic Health Problem




Chronic Health Problem

Chamberlain University

NR503NP Population Health, Epidemiology, and Statistical Principle

, Epidemiological Analysis- Chronic Health Problem 2


Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that impacts the ability of the brain to perform normal

activity. This causes seizures and unusual behavior resulting in significant health and mortality

disparities. This topic is important, because epilepsy is considered the third most leading brain

disorder in older adults after stroke and dementia (Pilgrim & Schub, 2018). People with epilepsy

experience recurring and persistent health and socioeconomic disparities, even with expanded

rights for persons with disabilities, public awareness programs, education, and access to advance

treatment (Koh et al, 2014). According to the CDC, in 2015, the number of people that had active

epilepsy was 1.2% of the total US population, which is 3.4 million people with epilepsy

nationwide, and of that number 3 million are adults and 470,000 are children (CDC, 2018).

According to the latest assessments, about 0.6% of children aged 0-17 years have active epilepsy

(CDC, 2018). As a future NP, it is important to learn about this disease and many others in order

to provide an effective treatment. In this paper, I will discuss the background and significance of

the disease, the current surveillance reporting, and provide a descriptive epidemiology analysis. I

will also elaborate on different screening methods used for the disease. Lastly, I will provide

information regarding a plan of how the NP will address the chronic health condition after

graduation, followed by a conclusion at the end.

Background and Significance

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines Epilepsy as a disorder of the

brain that causes seizures (CDC, 2018). Generally, anyone can be impacted by this terrible

disease. In the United States, each year approximately 200,000 new cases of epilepsy are

diagnosed, of which 45,000 of that group are children aged < 15 years (Pilgrim & Schub, 2018).

Both males and females of all ages, races, and ethnic backgrounds can develop epilepsy, but it’s

more common in children and older adults. In order for a person to be diagnosed with epilepsy
