Hi
all,
I have
been asked to put together some information for the public re information on
health issues - for example media stories etc, and basically how they
assess their validity. I can tell them how to do this on the internet, but
how do I tell them which news stories to believe...apart from "if it's the
News of the World/Sunday Sport/Daily Mail etc. take with a pinch of
salt?!". I'm trying to cover every angle and not everyone has easy
access to the internet or local library to double check these things, so
apart from calling an NHS helpline has anyone any other useful suggestions
please ?
Hopeful thanks in advance
best
Barbara
