Dr. Jiayun Xu is creating a tool to help you and your family members talk about future medical planning in Parkinson's Disease. They are looking for a person with Parkinson's and a family member who is/was caring for a family member with PD within the last 5 years. You must be able to speak and read English, willing to be audio-recorded and have access to a phone or internet. For more info contact Dr. Xu at caregive@purdue.edu or phone 765-494-4017.
