The Board of Directors of the Arizona Chapter of the National Parkinson Foundation is working on developing a Demographic Survey protocol. We wish to include as much information about PWP. An example of such questions are: Age, Age at Diagnosis, Hindsight age at symptoms, Education, Occupation, Gender, Racial Genetic information, Geographical information, Food intake, Health Questions. Although this is a Chapter undertaking, we do want to ask those questions that other surveys have asked in order to enhance the value of our instrument. Hence I am asking those members who are Demographers or who have knowledge of such, such as Public Health Surveys or researchers in Countries that have a more centralized medical reporting system, to please let us know who we may contact. We are aware that surveying the membership of this list would only give us a very bias result, and maybe that would be of value to list members, but would exclude the greatest number of PWP. My perception of List Member is that are all from Lake Woebegone, where all the folks are good looking, bright, articulate, well read, supportive, caring, and righteous, and all of our children are above average, and most importantly our Grandchildren are way above average. Maybe the List Owners of "Sparkle " would have a section of Grandchildren List Members Photos of Grandchildren, now that would bring a sparkle to our eyes. Thanks for your Help. Bernie Barber
