Abstract
⺠Internalized stigma is a significant problem for people with epilepsy. ⺠Monthly peer support groups for one year decreased stigma for youth with epilepsy. ⺠A non-significant decrease in stigma among adults with epilepsy was also found. ⺠Peer support groups may be a low-cost way to address stigma in low-income settings.
