How our content is developed
Articles are built around a defined reader question or search intent, then researched using sources appropriate to the topic. Our editorial workflow emphasizes clear answers, useful context, safety guidance, uncertainty where appropriate, and links to supporting authoritative information.
Author and contributor standards
Contributors are expected to use plain American English, distinguish evidence from inference, avoid diagnosing a reader from an image or symptom description, and avoid overstating what the available evidence can establish.
Credentials and bylines
We do not invent author qualifications, clinical credentials, professional affiliations, reviewer identities, or endorsements. If a qualified healthcare professional genuinely reviews a specific article, that review can be documented in accordance with our Medical Review Policy.
Source expectations
Depending on the subject, preferred sources may include CDC, NIH, FDA, EPA, state and local health departments, recognized professional medical organizations, university extension resources, and relevant peer-reviewed research.
Editorial accountability
Readers can report suspected errors, unclear wording, outdated guidance, accessibility barriers, or source concerns through our Contact page. Material errors are handled under our Corrections Policy.
