Ben Goldacre's Bad Science column in the Guardian is worth a read. He also has a blog at www.badscience.net Good luck with your column!

I was recently asked to join forces with a medical writer to develop a weekly column for our city's newspaper. While uncomfortable with that notion I did agree to collaborate on a series that would take a critical look at a high profile study appearing in the lay press and then try to provide an understandable analysis with practical recommendations for the readership. The products of this first effort can be accessd at the link below and deals with what was a highly publicized study from the New England Journal of Medicine about screening techniques in colon cancer. http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/arts/index.html I'd be interested to know if anyone on this listserve has experience with communicating EBM to the general public in this way or if you have any thoughts or suggestions related to this kind of initiative.
