Study Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of adapting and delivering the existing home-based epilepsy self-management intervention, HOBSCOTCH, for people with Parkinson's Disease (PD)

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Can the current HOBSCOTCH program be adapted for people with PD?
Will people with PD experience improved quality of life similar to that found in people with epilepsy after participating in the HOBSCOTCH program?

Participants will be asked to:

attend nine, one-hour virtual (online and/or by telephone) HOBSCOTCH-PD sessions with a one-on-one certified HOBSCOTCH-PD coach
complete a brief clinical questionnaire about their diagnosis of PD
complete two questionnaires before and after the HOBSCOTCH-PD sessions about their quality of life and about memory and thinking processes
keep a short daily diary about their PD symptoms and use of the self-management strategies taught in the HOBSCOTCH-PD program
complete a brief Satisfaction Survey after the entire HOBSCOTCH-PD program
