Tourette’s Disorder or Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a highly heritable neuropsychiatric disorder affecting about 0.5% of the population worldwide. Study and clinical samples have been heavily Caucasian, and the sparse existing data on TS prevalence in African or African American samples are highly discordant. This door-to-door and health-fair-based study in a minority community in the Midwest used community health workers (CHWs) and a video–enhanced screener to measure the prevalence of TS. Two persons screened positive for TS among the 154 adults recruited. Community screening for TS in minority populations is feasible and relatively inexpensive using CHWs and a video–enhanced screening instrument.
