Does impact of disclosure of individual imaging result in a multi-center Parkinson clinical trial?
The majority of research participants chose to learn their individual dopamine transporter imaging results and were satisfied with their decision. Disclosure of imaging information resulted in improved understanding of parkinsonian symptoms in nearly half of subjects, and less belief among 'no dopamine transporter deficit' subjects that they had a diagnosis of Parkinson disease.
Media coverage did not affect the attitude of the participants toward restriction of driving license in persons with epilepsy, whereas the proportion of participants who object to severe punishment for car accidents in persons with epilepsy was decreased.
