Today, we're pointing you to a wonderful resource, Health News Review. This is a site where experts examine and comment on those health and medical stories we all see and hear in the media.
Reading about health issues, medical studies, and so-called "breakthroughs" can be difficult even for those trained to be critical readers. We are often left with more questions than answers. This site will help you evaluate those medical stories that may touch your life.
Health News Review says it is dedicated to:
- "Improving the accuracy of news stories about medical treatments, tests, products and procedures."
- "Helping consumers evaluate the evidence for and against new ideas in health care."
We Love:
- Their criteria for what users need in stories.
- Their journalist & consumer toolkit.
- Their careful analysis and clear writing.
You can bookmark the site for those times when you hear a report and want to read a review of it.
