The study sample was divided into two groups as study (35 adolescents, 37 parents) and control (34 adolescents, 34 parents) groups using simple randomization method. The web-based epilepsy training program which was developed during the preparation stage of the study was evaluated by 13 experts using the Quality of Criteria for Consumer Health Information measurement instrument. The data collection materials (Seizure Self efficacy scale, E-Health literacy scale, Child Attitude Toward Illness Scale, Website Analysis and MeasureMent Inventory Scale) were administered by the researcher to the adolescents and parents in both groups before applying eb-based epilepsy education program. Following the administration of eb-based epilepsy education program to the initiative group, all participants were observed for three months. The data collection materials were reapplied to all the participants at the end of the third month. In addition, the adolescents and their parents in the study group were applied Website Analysis and Measurement Inventory measurement tool for the evaluation of usability of the site.
