What Do You Know About Parkinson's Disease? Take Our Quiz!
Last updated: December 2020
While Parkinson’s disease (PD) can affect everyone differently, there is common ground among community members. To find out more about how people with PD cope with their condition, manage their symptoms, and improve their quality of life, we conducted our 4th Annual Parkinson’s Disease In America survey. Nearly 1,500 people completed the survey, providing an interesting look at PD.
