Preparing Patient-Caregiver Dyads with Parkinson's Disease for Future Decision Making

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Parkinson Disease

In brief

Persons with Parkinson's disease and family care partners are often unprepared to make difficult, future medical decisions. Earlier conversations about future medical decisions between persons with Parkinson's disease and family care partners are needed before communication and cognitive difficulties become severe. In this study, the investigators will pilot test a novel dyadic intervention to help persons with Parkinson's disease and family care partners make future medical decisions. The investigators hypothesize the intervention will be feasible and acceptable among persons with Parkinson's disease and family care partners.
