Transforming Parkinson's Care in Africa (TraPCAf): protocol for a multimethodology National Institute for Health and Care Research Global Health Research Group project

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the fastest growing neurological disorder globally with respect to associated prevalence, disability, and deaths. However, information regarding the phenotypic characteristics, epidemiology, prevalence, risk factors and lived experience of PD from the African perspective is sparse. Transforming Parkinson’s Care in Africa (TraPCAf) is a National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) funded, multi-faceted, multi-national research grant with the aim of transforming the diagnosis, treatment and care of PD in Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania. This research is timely, as global recognition of the public health challenge of PD builds.

Valuable data often go unpublished when they could be helping to progress science. Hence, the BMC Series introduced Data notes, a short article type allowing you to describe your data and publish them to make your data easier to find, cite and share.

You can publish your data in BMC Genomic Data (genomic, transcriptomic and high-throughput genotype data) or in BMC Research Notes (data from across all natural and clinical sciences). 

More information about our unique article type can be found on the BMC Genomic Data and BMC Research Notes journal websites.
