Good morning,

There is a book "Etiology of Parkinson's Disease" by Ellenberg,
Koller & Langston published in 1995 with a chapter that reviews what
are apparently all the signicant incidence and prevalence studies.
(Koller is the well-known PD expert from Univ of Kansas). The authors
consider door-to-door interviews by people capable of making a
diagnosis the most accurate method of collecting data but also the
most expensive.  There are only a few areas of the US surveyed in
this manner  - Rochester NY,  Rochester Minn (Olmsted county), upper
Manhattan, and Copiah county Miss.  I will get back with further
details.
