Understanding Cannabis Use in PD

Parkinson's Disease

Cannabis use among older adults in Canada is increasing. Our goal is to examine the current prevalence and pattern of cannabis use in patients with Parkinson’s disease.

Each study visit will have a duration of approximately 2 hours. You may choose to do the study visit in person or via videoconference Zoom. During the 2 hours of the study, you will be asked to complete several questionnaires and scales. These questions and scales will ask about your quality of life, motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. We will ask questions to understand the prevalence and pattern of cannabis use in PD.
