Prolonged Grief Disorder Scale

The Prolonged Grief Disorder Scale (PG-13) is a 13-item diagnostic assessment tool developed by Prigerson and Maciejewski to operationalize the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for Prolonged Grief Disorder. Designed as a structured clinical instrument, the PG-13 directly maps onto the symptomatic, cognitive, and functional criteria required for diagnosis, making it invaluable in clinical and research settings where standardized diagnostic assessment is needed.
