Needs and Barriers - What are the Views of People With Parkinson's Disease and Their Families? (PD102882)

Presenter(s): Cindy Washington; Robin Baack; Sabiha Parveen, PhD, CCC-SLP; Abby Welke

Credit(s): PDHs: 0.5, ASHA CEUs*: 0.05

Summary: Approximately 1 million people are currently living with Parkinson's disease (PD) in the United States, with more than 60,000 people newly diagnosed with PD each year. Although PD can often be effectively managed by a combination of pharmacological and nonpharmacological options during the earlier stages, many individuals with PD experience progressive disability and require increased support from health and social services. This course describes a study that includes findings from semi-structured interviews with people with PD and their family members (based in Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas) about their current unmet needs and barriers to service delivery. In addition, the course discusses some of the future directions and avenues that may benefit the PD community.
