Hello. Please forgive the impersonal nature of this email but I am trying to get this out to as many people as possible. I am sending you this email because I know that you have or had some connection to Parkinson's disease, whether it be as someone with PD, a caregiver/care partner, family member, friend, employer or coworker or health professional. This survey is for my poster at the upcoming World Parkinson's Congress in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on October 1-4, 2013. It is about certain PD symptoms such as facial masking, lack of facial and vocal expression and speech difficulties and their potential effects on interpersonal relationships. The information that is collected will be aggregated and any identifying info will be removed from anecdotes that are used for the poster. If you feel this survey does not apply to you in any way, I would appreciate it if you would pass it on to others. Here is the URL to the secure survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PDcommunication Thanks so much for your help!
