This interventional study sponsored by the Parkinson’s Foundation was designed to measure the feasibility, acceptability, and initial impact of the SMART-PD program on participants with a recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers. SMART-PD is a program designed to teach cognitive-behavioral techniques and relaxation skills to patients with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers. The program provides information and tools to help patients and their caregivers cope with a new diagnosis of PD, and manage the stress and negative mental health symptoms associated with PD.
