Understanding Health News
Overview
With the constant stream of health news today, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Thankfully, a solution is just a click away.
Simplifying Health News
A new website, HealthNewsReview.org, aims to enhance health and medical news reporting by evaluating stories for accuracy, balance, and completeness.
Gary Schwitzer, a professor at the University of Minnesota School of Journalism and Mass Communication and publisher of the site, explains, "Through HealthNewsReview.org, consumers will learn how to critically evaluate claims made in news stories. This helps people become not just savvy health care consumers, but also discerning news readers."
How It Works
A team of unbiased reviewers, including medical professionals, journalists, and researchers, assess the quality of health stories from major sources like the top 50 newspapers, evening network newscasts, and the Associated Press. The site, funded by the nonprofit Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making, doesn't offer medical advice. Instead, it helps readers decode conflicting health claims.
Jack Fowler, president of the Foundation, states, "We believe health care consumers deserve timely, accurate, and unbiased information for medical decisions. Since media plays a significant role in how people get this information, HealthNewsReview.org aligns perfectly with our mission."
Rating System
HealthNewsReview.org uses a star system to rate stories based on:
- Novelty and availability of the idea
- Existence of alternative options
- Costs of treatments or procedures
- Sources used in the story
- Quantification of harms and benefits
The site covers various topics, such as breast cancer research, children's vaccines, and the value of PSA tests. It reviews stories making therapeutic claims about specific treatments, procedures, vitamins, supplements, and diagnostic tests. From evaluating whether Prozac treats anorexia to exploring if acupuncture can cure hot flashes, the site helps readers understand information that impacts them and their loved ones.
