Editorial policy

Authors and reviewers

Substantive articles carry a named author. Content that describes clinical concepts is reviewed by a named reviewer whose scope of role is published on our team page. Reviewers check accuracy against primary sources; they do not provide medical advice to readers and do not review individual cases.

Pages are written and reviewed by our editorial team. A named author or reviewer appears only when that person’s role and scope are confirmed.

Dates

Pages display a published date, a last-reviewed date, and a last-updated date. A cosmetic edit does not reset a review date.

Sourcing

We cite primary sources — government agencies, peer-reviewed research, professional clinical guidelines, and official program directories. We do not cite marketing pages as evidence, and we do not fabricate citations, statistics, dates, or credentials. Where evidence is limited or contested, we say so instead of resolving it artificially.

Medical-review boundaries

Nothing on this site is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation. Educational content explains how care is generally organized; only a licensed clinician can determine what is appropriate for an individual.

Corrections

Errors are corrected promptly. Substantive corrections are noted on the page with the date. Anyone can request a correction through our contact form.

Independence from advertising

No paid provider, sponsor, or referral partner may control, review, or influence editorial conclusions. Informational content, advertising, sponsored listings, and referral relationships are clearly separated and labeled where they appear.

Use of AI tools

Where drafting tools are used, output is reviewed by a person for factual accuracy before publication, and sources are checked individually rather than accepted as generated.
