Overview of survey responses from BAME participants, which relate to risk factors correlated with of increased epilepsy morbidity and mortality. Modifiable risk factors are based on guidelines from National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the SUDEP and Seizure Safety Checklist [27], [37]. The discussion of risk factors will depend on diagnosis and demographics, which may partially account for why risk discussion is low in the <18 years of age category. *Expect fewer risk factors to be discussed in people under 18 years of age (i.e. driving, employment) **Excluding pregnancy and contraception risk factors in male participants.
