data source
John-
I was working from a book by Dr. Lieberman titled "Shaking Up Parkinson's: Figfhting Like a Tiger, Thinking Like a Fox" page 125 has a bar graph showing each state's PD prevalence. It says that it was from data gathered by the National Parkinson's Foundation, seemingly from Big Pharma and showing Sinemet sales by individual stores. Some duckhead made the decision to combine that fine, detailed data into a statewide unit. However, the possibilities are great. If the orgs want to do something it seens as though this would be a good start.
