Parkinson's disease (PD) Literacy: A pilot study on awareness about PD among the General Public in Mumbai Mathur Deepshikha, Maria Barretto Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Society, Mumbai Online published on 27 October, 2023. Abstract The objective of this exploratory survey was to find out the level of awareness about Parkinson s disease among the 688 respondents (Males =267, and Females= 421) of different ages (from 14 years to 93 years), and education levels residing in Mumbai (Maharashtra). A questionnaire was administered to all the participants individually. The findings revealed that knowledge gaps are present, especially about cell degeneration, who can be affected, and symptom presentation. However, although recognizing PD is a serious disease, the perception and attitudes toward P D are largely positive. Results have implications for designing health literacy and stigma reduction programs in the community. Top Keywords Awareness, Health Literacy, Parkinson's Disease, Knowledge, Attitude, Stigma.
