摘要
Health disparities are pervasive in the United States. In the field of Parkinson disease (PD), profound racial and ethnic disparities exist in diagnosis, treatment, and research participation, leading to differential health outcomes and lack of generalizable research data. Racial and ethnic disparities not only limit our understanding of this complex heterogeneous disorder but also hamper our ability to provide new evidence-based care for America's most vulnerable populations. In this report, we summarize findings from our comprehensive white paper for the Michael J. Fox Foundation that reviews the current state of knowledge on racial and ethnic disparities in PD care in the following areas: epidemiology, etiology, phenotype and diagnosis, treatment, and research. We also identify knowledge gaps and necessary policy changes to ensure equitable, high-value care for all persons with PD. These strategies are designed to help identify and reduce health disparities among persons with PD and may serve as a model for other neurologic diseases.
