### Health Characteristics  
As shown in Table 2, the majority of the IHD cohort had Early- or Mid-Stage HD (87.8%) and were utilizing a care partner (65.9%), whereas the majority of HD-CP reported caring for adults with Mid- or Late-Stage HD (91.2%). The most reported HD symptoms experienced in the past 12 months among IHD were: difficulty in remembering (70.7%), difficulty in planning/problem solving/decision making (70.7%), and involuntary movements or spasms (63.4%). \begin{table}
