  30. Significant outcomesGPI* * Working with Terry Martin on continued validity of the instrument.

  31. Surprising News . . . Only one participant out of 234 scored as qualifying for prolonged grief. This is a result that bears further scrutiny, and suggests a considerable examination of the instrument and the use as a diagnostic tool. Perhaps more study on normed populations for prolonged grief is indicated. Surprising outcome: PG13 (>.5%)
