SURVEY / SONDAGE | 2024-2025

Are you a person with Parkinson's?

If so, we invite you to participate in an exciting study exploring the role of music in the lives of people with Parkinson’s. No music experience necessary!

This study is an international exploration of the role that music plays in the lives of people with Parkinson’s. Please click “complete the survey” to review the consent form. Individuals who decide to participate will be asked to fill out a short 30-minute survey and will receive a  $20CAD gift card. 

We will be integrating your responses into an information guide that will be shared with knowledge experts and community-based organizations. It is anticipated that the content from this guide will help improve program delivery in the Parkinson’s community.
