Become a Research Advocate

Why do we need help in advocating for the importance of clinical research?  

Here are a few key reasons:

• It is estimated that less than one percent of the one million people with Parkinson’s currently participate in clinical studies.  
• This low level of participation slows the time it takes clinical research to be completed.
• This results in delays in the development of new treatments that could offer relief to people living with Parkinson's.

How can you help?

• Become a clinical research advocate in your community.
• Use our How to Advocate tips and resources to ensure you have the information you need to help search for new treatments and a cure.
• Become part of PDF's Parkinson's Advocates in Research (PAIR) program or work with a research advocate in your area.
