Morley, D.

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) can have substantial effects not only on the quality of life of those diagnosedwith the condition but also upon the informal carers who provide support and assistance to them. However, to date no well-validated carer specific quality of life measure has been developed for carers of people with PD.

Objective: This paper documents the development and validation of a PD specific carer quality of life scale.
