They are sure trying since if it erupts 3 million people will be in the way. I just saw a Discovery program on it and they think they can map earthquakes to eruptions. By graphing the history of earthquakes in the area and when an eruption happened they were able to show a correlation. How strong it is is still the question. The volcano is one of the best watched in the world, but they still don't have all her secrets.

Do scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquakes?

Yes, scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquake activity, because volcanic and earthquake activity go together. Volcanic eruptions spew out lava whose source is in the magma of the mantle. Earthquakes are caused by heat from the mantle making crustal [or lithospheric or tectonic] plates move.
