On November 1 from 2:30-5pm PT the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) will host a live broadcast of the Diversity in Parkinson’s Disease Research Roundtable.

In 2019, the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) held the first-of-its-kind Diversity in Parkinson’s Disease Research Conference. The conference led to the establishment of the APDA Diversity in Parkinson’s Disease Research Grant – a one-year grant to study the health inequities and/or differences among under-studied PD communities, across the spectrum of ethnicity, ancestry, geography, socioeconomic conditions, and gender.

Since then, APDA has awarded this unique grant to the following six researchers. On November 1st they will present their work and answer questions live during the program.

  • Dr. Chantale Branson
    • Understanding racial demographics of Parkinson’s disease among African Americans, Morehouse School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA
  • Paula Reyes
    • MEX-PD: Bringing together clinicians and researchers to tackle Parkinson’s research challenges in Mexico, Red Mexicana De Bioinformatica, Cuernavaca Morelos, Mexico
  • Dr. Jennifer Goldman
    • Understanding the utilization of rehabilitation services across diverse populations, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, Chicago, IL
  • Dr. Erin Foster and Dominique Woodhouse
    • Understanding engagement in research, clinical care, and community services among people of color with Parkinson disease, Washington University, St. Louis, MO
  • Drs. Laura Prieto and Luis Columna
    • Physical activity among Latino/a people with Parkinson disease and their care partners, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI
  • Dr. Karen Hegland
    • Low utilization of deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy among minoritized individuals with Parkinson disease, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL

The program will also feature a panel discussion among four people from various ethnic backgrounds who are living with PD.
