2% to 1%? 50% reduction? 1 in 100?

Laney, one of the home office coordinators, found this great article that I think really applies to us.

When do you get excited about a potential treatment for PE? If the treatment decreases the incidence from 2% to 1%? If there's a 50% reduction? If it helps 1 in 100 women? They are all the same thing.

The article explains it better! What do you think?

yeah, 2% and 1% sound low, but I've already BEEN the 1 out of a hundred. If you were the 1 wouldn't you want to be helped too? That's how I look at it. At least unless the risk of harm is even greater.

Thank you Kerisue!
