## Summary For Families

A Hong Kong research project is measuring the real-world burden of Parkinson's disease, aiming to understand how symptoms, daily function, and healthcare needs affect people living with PD there. Rather than testing a treatment, researchers will collect clinical information and patient questionnaires, mapping symptom severity, quality of life, and service use to spot gaps in care; no intervention will be offered. About 90 community-dwelling adults of any age and gender who have a confirmed Parkinson's diagnosis and live in Hong Kong are eligible, but people who are wheelchair-bound or bed-ridden, those with atypical Parkinsonism, or who have major conditions like stroke are excluded.
