Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Self-management	Self-management will be measured with the Epilepsy Self-Management Scale (Dilorio et al., 1994). The scale is composed of 38 items that assess the degree to which people perform tasks to manage their epilepsy. It is composed of five subscales: medication management, information management, seizure management, safety management and lifestyle management.	3 months
Secondary	Acceptability of the intervention	Acceptability will be evaluated through a self-administered questionnaire composed of items regarding satisfaction with the approach, convenience of use, ease of understanding, relevance, dosage and overall appreciation (Côté et al., 2012).	1 month
Secondary	Feasibility of the intervention	Feasibility will be assessed by an evaluation of exposition to intervention: for each participants, the number of page viewed will be recorded. Fidelity to the intervention structure will be obtained by comparing the projected number of pages view to the number of viewed pages, thus addressing its feasibility.	1 month
