Lewy Body Dementia Assoc. Community Webinar Series: You Spoke, We Listened - Research Priorities

In 2021, the LBDA Research Centers of Excellence Community Engagement Working Group invited community members affected by LBD to participate in a web-based survey to identify the research priorities of people with LBD and care partners. By giving the platform to the LBD community, we aimed to outline the areas of greatest need to guide future research efforts. The results were published early this year and we are looking forward to sharing them with you in this webinar. We will walk you through what was done, what the findings are and how they can impact the field of LBD. You spoke, we listened, and now please join us to continue the conversation.

Intended audience: People living with LBD, care partners, health care providers and anyone who wants to learn more about LBD.
