Researchers have been studying DES and its health effects for many years. However, sometimes the data and results are difficult for non-researchers to understand. It may also be difficult for people to figure out how research can be applied to their own health.
This section of CDC's DES Update will help you understand and use research about DES and includes the following information:
- Understanding Scientific Research – Tips for interpreting and understanding scientific research.
- Deciding Whether a Source is Reliable – Criteria for assessing whether a source is providing accurate and reliable information.
- Role of Laboratory Animal Studies – A basis for learning about human health risks from laboratory animal studies.
- Role of DES Cohort Studies – An explanation for understanding how studies of the DES cohorts (groups of DES-exposed persons who are included in follow-up research on DES-related health effects) fit into the DES research picture.
