Adaptango Performance PRocess for Older Adults Community reHabilitation
This study looks at a dance-based community program called the Adaptango Performance Process. Researchers want to learn how people with Parkinson's, people with mild cognitive impairment, and younger adults talk about difficult topics, and how they view community and justice before and after. It is not a drug trial and has no phase. It measures experiences, not disease outcomes.
You may qualify if
- Individuals (PWP, younger adults, PLwD) from the greater Atlanta area. Those in the PWP group must be diagnosed by a neurologist specialized in Parkinson's disease.
