Default Lookong for input

Debi:
It seems to me you have now received what amounts to an information overload, but nevertheless valuable patient input. Now, it will be interesting to see how you market your program. Perhaps "M" of MJFF would do the TV promo soliciting volunteers for the clinical study? We will all be interested in reading about your efforts. There are some creative participants on this forum who would, I believe, be willing to help.

So, I'm interested in avoiding terms that will confuse or turn people off...yet needs to be accurate and useable.

Great help so far...

Default for now...

So, at least for now and for the purposes of this initial block of materials being created for the upcoming biomarkers study, we have settled on:

PD participants and Control participants...

Everyone offered such helpful, nuanced and personal feedback--and I just wanted to say thanks for that.

Happy to share more on how we landed if needbe but as you can imagine there are many complexities in trying to get these right.

Best, Debi
