Accountable

How a Black Health article gets medically reviewed

  1. 1

    A licensed clinician outside our editorial team reads the full draft.

    Not a paraphrase. Not the lede. The full draft, including every citation and every clinical claim.

  2. 2

    The reviewer checks the medicine against current guidelines.

    USPSTF, ACOG, AHA, CDC, FDA Drug Label, NCCN, and the relevant specialty society for the topic. Out-of-date guidance gets flagged for rewrite, not "noted as a limitation."

  3. 3

    Disagreements between the writer and the reviewer go to the editor.

    The editor resolves them by re-reading the primary source, not by averaging the two positions. If the reviewer and the source say the same thing, the writer revises. If the source is ambiguous, we say so in the body.

  4. 4

    The reviewer's name and credentials appear on the article before publish.

    No anonymous review. No "Reviewed by Black Health Medical Team." The reader can click the byline, see the reviewer's full bio, and read every other piece they've reviewed.

  5. 5

    If the medicine changes, the article gets re-reviewed and re-dated.

    Evergreen clinical articles run a 12-to-18-month review cadence by default; faster-moving treatment topics get checked every 6 months. The "Last medically reviewed" date on the byline is the date the current reviewer signed off, not the date we touched any pixel.
