Epidemiologists can use the PG-13 scale in various ways, including:
1. Prevalence Studies: To determine the proportion of a population affected by PGD. 2. Risk Factor Analysis: To identify factors that increase the likelihood of developing PGD. 3. Intervention Studies: To evaluate the effectiveness of treatments and support programs designed to alleviate PGD.
By incorporating the PG-13 scale into their research, epidemiologists can gain valuable insights into the burden of PGD and inform public health policies.
