Editorial Policy
Transparency is at the core of everything we do. Here's how we create, review, and maintain the health information on HealthFlint.
Content Creation Process
Research
Our writers research topics using peer-reviewed studies, clinical guidelines, and recognized medical organizations (WHO, CDC, NIH).
Writing
Articles are written by health professionals using plain language, following our evidence grading system.
Medical Review
Every article is reviewed by a board-certified physician who verifies accuracy, completeness, and clinical relevance.
Publication
Articles are published with full source citations, author and reviewer attribution, and evidence grades.
Ongoing Review
All articles are re-reviewed every 6–12 months and updated when new evidence emerges.
Evidence Grading System
We rate the strength of evidence behind health claims to help readers assess reliability:
Meta-analyses, large RCTs, or systematic reviews
Smaller RCTs, strong cohort studies
Case-control studies, observational data
Preliminary findings, expert opinion
Corrections Policy
If we discover an error, we correct it promptly and note the correction at the top of the article. If you believe you've found an error, please contact us.
Advertising Policy
HealthFlint maintains a strict separation between editorial content and advertising. Advertisers never influence our editorial decisions, content recommendations, or evidence grading. All advertisements are clearly labeled.
