How we report responsibly

Credibility matters in health communication. Our approach is designed to help readers distinguish promising research from established clinical practice.

  • We separate research findings from interpretation.
  • We link original research and authoritative guidance wherever possible.
  • We include uncertainty, limitations and potential risks.
  • We avoid presenting emerging evidence as established treatment.
