Behind the (Often Alarmist) Medical News

Posted by Dan Gillmor in Tools, Trust

The UK Health Service site, Behind the Headlines, is an excellent resource for calm and understandable health information — making sense of alarmist news stories.

Also, do read Dr. Alica White’s “How to read articles about health and healthcare” (pdf). Great advice.
