Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of adapting and delivering the existing home-based epilepsy self-management intervention, HOBSCOTCH, for people with Parkinson's Disease (PD)

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Can the current HOBSCOTCH program be adapted for people with PD?
2. Will people with PD experience improved quality of life similar to that found in people with epilepsy after participating in the HOBSCOTCH program?

Participants will be asked to:

* attend nine, one-hour virtual (online and/or by telephone) HOBSCOTCH-PD sessions with a one-on-one certified HOBSCOTCH-PD coach
* complete a brief clinical questionnaire about their diagnosis of PD
* complete two questionnaires before and after the HOBSCOTCH-PD sessions about their quality of life and about memory and thinking processes
* keep a short daily diary about their PD symptoms and use of the self-management strategies taught in the HOBSCOTCH-PD program
* complete a brief Satisfaction Survey after the entire HOBSCOTCH-PD program

HOme-Based Self-management and COgnitive Training CHanges lives (HOBSCOTCH)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

HOBSCOTCH is a home-based self-management program to treat cognitive symptoms and improve quality of life, while minimizing the barriers of access to care. The program is based on Problem Solving Therapy (PST) and teaches problem solving strategies and compensatory mechanisms to help manage cognitive dysfunction and enhance quality of life. HOBSCOTCH-PD is an adaptation of the HOBSCOTCH program for people with PD and incorporates education about Parkinson Disease and cognition into the education module.
