The investigators are examining how aspects of daily function are perceived in persons with
PD and in those who interact with them on a regular basis. If eligible, participants will
receive a set of online questionnaires by email. The questionnaires will take about 1 hour to
complete, and can be done at the participant's convenience. The investigators are looking for
volunteers who have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease without dementia (age 40 or older and
proficient English speakers). If a spouse, family member, significant other or other close
associate is available (age 18 or older, proficient English speakers), the investigators will
send them questionnaires as well. There is no monetary or other compensation for this study.
