英国三分之一的成年人不知道如何应对抓获事件, 尽管癫痫影响到1%的人口。 One in three UK adults don’t know how to respond to a seizure, despite epilepsy affecting 1% of the population.

英国对2000名成人的调查发现,三分之一的成年人不知道如何应对癫痫发作的人, A UK survey of 2,000 adults found that one in three would not know how to respond to someone having an epileptic seizure, with over half admitting they’ve never been taught what to do. 许多人害怕局势恶化,一些人错误地认为,他们应该限制人或将物品放进他们的嘴里,专家对此表示不满。 Many fear worsening the situation, and some mistakenly believe they should restrain the person or place objects in their mouth—actions experts discourage. 只有少数人认识到抽搐以外的癫痫发作，16% 的人认为其他人会提供帮助。 Only a minority recognize seizures beyond convulsions, and 16% assume someone else will help. 相反,人们对处理骨折、窒息或恐慌袭击感到更有信心。 In contrast, people feel more confident handling broken bones, choking, or panic attacks. Epime Action称调查结果令人震惊,指出每100人中就有1人患有癫痫,并强调需要通过“我能指望你”运动进行公众教育。 Epilepsy Action called the findings alarming, noting that one in 100 people has epilepsy, and stressed the need for public education through its 'Could I Count On You' campaign.
