Today for #BlackHistoryMonth, consider enrolling in our genetics study, PD GENEration, and help us map the #FutureOfPD 🧬 (3/3) Parkinson.org/PDGeneration
Diversity in research is essential to setting the foundation to find new treatments. Studying health disparities, conducting more targeted and inclusive research and more accurately diagnosing PD in the Black community will help us learn more. (2/3)
Because Black people with PD are underrepresented in Parkinson's research, the full impact of Parkinson's on the Black and African American community is unknown.❗️There is no current estimate of how many Black people are living with Parkinson’s in the U.S.❗️(1/3)
Read our last blog to learn more: bit.ly/3X7ilM1
To date, most #Parkinsons research and care has not served and been fully representative of all people who live with the disease. MJFF is committed to sharing meaningful resources that have candid and relatable insights and practical strategies about navigating life with PD.
This #BlackHistoryMonth, MJFF is sharing The PD Movers: We Keep Moving, an illustrated storybook resource for Black patients and families navigating #Parkinsons disease, produced and supported by @Columbia University Irving Institute for Translational Science.
MLK, Jr., told us “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane.” Let’s Close the Gap for Parkinson’s disease in the AA/Black Community. Get educated, empowered and spread the word! Download and read The PD Movers stories!
