We often hear that participating in research is important, but many people have understandable questions and concerns. What happens to my information and data? What’s new in Parkinson’s research? How do I find studies and get involved? Does diversity matter to research?

People with Parkinson’s, their loved ones, and health providers interested in learning more are invited to join the Parkinson’s Foundation for this important talk about common misconceptions and myths about research as well as new research updates.
