🧠 Did you know? Only 5 out of 12 studies on Parkinson’s Disease (PD) included Asian Americans when examining racial disparities in PD diagnosis, treatment, and access to care. Even more startling, just 1 study in 2014 had enough Asian Americans to truly understand their knowledge and attitudes towards PD. We’re currently enrolling Asian American care partners for a national survey that aims to improve support and treatment for Parkinson Disease patients. Your participation can make a huge difference in addressing these disparities and finding better-suited solutions for our community. Interested?
