Test Your Parkinson's Disease Knowledge With This Quiz

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.
