How We Evaluate Health Information

APP prioritizes current guidance from public-health agencies, prescribing information, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and peer-reviewed clinical research. Evidence quality, applicability, limitations and potential conflicts should all be considered before turning a finding into a recommendation.

Educational content does not replace individualized medical advice. Medication, diagnosis and treatment decisions belong with a licensed healthcare professional familiar with the patient.

APP Editorial Standards

APP aims to distinguish established evidence from emerging findings and professional interpretation. Health articles should identify authorship, use reputable scientific or governmental sources, disclose relevant commercial relationships, and be updated when material evidence or guidance changes. Educational information is general in nature and is not a diagnosis, prescription, or substitute for care from a qualified healthcare professional.

Sources and Evidence Strength

Our publishing standard is to link important health and performance claims to relevant research or authoritative guidance. Human studies, systematic reviews, and professional guidelines should be distinguished from animal research, preliminary findings, and personal experience. A source should support the specific claim being made.

Authorship, Review, and Updates

Articles should identify their author and relevant qualifications. A medical-review label is used only when a named, qualified clinician has actually reviewed the material. Publication and substantive update dates should reflect the work performed; a formatting change is not a new evidence review.

Commercial Relationships

APP may receive compensation through affiliate or referral relationships. Readers should be told about relevant relationships near the recommendation or referral link. A partnership does not establish that a product or treatment is appropriate for every reader.

Corrections and Reader Questions
