What
is it?
NHS Choices Behind the Headlines is part of
the NHS Choices website. The
Behind the Headlines section investigates and analyses reported news headlines
on health-related topics – separating fact from fiction or exaggeration at
least.
Key
Features
You’ll find analysis of
recently reported health topics. The website investigates how the news has been
reported; it identifies the research paper that the news is based on and
critically appraises the paper to determine whether the reported headlines are
justified.
Items are presented in
chronological order, although you can select to view items by category.
How
can it help you?
The articles created
here can show really useful examples of how to critically appraise a paper.
They also give you pointers as to the types of questions you should be asking
when looking at how research has been conducted.
How
to access it?
NHS Choices Behind the
Headlines is freely available on the Internet. You can also find the items via
the NHS Choices twitter feed with
hashtag, #behindtheheadlines.
