Research
- NIH (National Institute of Health) sponsored research
Search for the subject + “NIH,” while reviewing, it lists similar research on the topic that may be more relevant. Just because a study is sponsored by NIH or other “reputable” sources, it does not mean it is not influenced by the special interest groups, so first check the “conflict of interest” and disclosures at the end of the paper.
- Headline health news, skip and go right into the actual research it references, usually at the beginning of the article. Often, the health news title does not match the actual research and/or the results or conclusion – or it is incomplete and missing important information.
