Abstract
Zambian clerics are very familiar with epilepsy, yet have relatively little knowledge of the etiology. Many view traditional healers as the appropriate care provider for epilepsy. To decrease stigma and improve the quality of advice offered by clerics to their congregations, educational programs focusing on the biomedical nature of the disorder are needed, particularly in rural regions.
