Who can participate?
You may be eligible to participate in this study if:
  • You are greater than 60 years old with or without a relative affected by Parkinson disease
  • You do not currently have a diagnosis of Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, or other related neurological disorder.

What will I be asked to do?
If you are interested in participating in this study, we would ask that you complete a brief questionnaire which will help us determine whether you are eligible. This Questionnaire can be filled out online by clicking form online below; it can be downloaded so that you can print it and mail back to us; or you can contact us and we will be happy to send you one. If you are eligible to participate, we will send you a packet in the mail that describes the study in more detail. The packet will also contain a longer questionnaire and smell test to be completed at your home and mailed back to us in a prepaid envelope.

Once we have received your questionnaires and smell test we may contact you to undergo additional follow-up evaluations. The follow-up evaluations may include a visit to a participating Parkinson research center which is closest to you, additional questionnaires and smell tests to be completed by mail, blood testing or other laboratory testing and brain imaging.
