The Straight Scoop on Health Headlines

HealthNewsReview.org is a website dedicated to:
• Improving the accuracy of news stories about medical treatments, tests, products and procedures.
• Helping consumers evaluate the evidence for and against new ideas in health care.

We're undergoing a complete site redesign to make it abundantly clear that the site is for consumers. We want consumers to see that the way we evaluate health news stories is the same way they can evaluate claims coming from any source. They can use the same 10 criteria we apply to the review of stories. We're adding new sections to the redesigned site to emphasize why each of the 10 criteria matter.

Snopes and Rumors

Snopes has earned the right to be called the foremost authority on rumors, or "urban legends" that circulate daily on the Internet. It is the most-cited authority on truth and lies. It lets you check out the truth of the claims in those scary emails you get before you send them on. You just have to copy the headline and paste it into the Snopes website to test it. Snopes will search its database and tell you which category the rumor belongs in:  true or false or, rarely, undetermined.

Research Gun Digest

The publisher of Gun Digest now has MOST of the content from all its annual editions online in the form of a searchable, somewhat browsable, Javascript-driven web site. This not free, but is a subscription-only service at $5.95/month, $49.95/year, for unlimited queries. I suspect that most people would be better off with the monthly fee and just use the site as needed, but YMMV.

I think that it has a fair amount of room for improvement, and sent off an email to the editor with some suggestions. There are some typos, some bad links, a somewhat gawky interface, and a lack of some good browsing options, but it has the potential to be a really great resource.

Articles are shown in printable form and can be printed to PDF files using DoPDF or an equivalent printer driver. This is a sample article.

Here is the email I sent:
-----

I like what you are doing with this Gun Digest Research site, but do have a few suggestions. 1. Give us the option to browse a single entire issue from front cover to back. 2. Give us the option to search (advanced search?) only the unique articles and not the annually recurring articles. "Pierre Pulling" for instance, without having the Arms Library of every issue pop up, or "22 Hornet" without the catalog section or American Bulleted Cartridges being searched. 3. There are still a few bugs, like the link "Short Magnums: Pro & Con Part II: Con from 58th Annual Edition Gun Digest 2004" that comes up blank. 4. There are a few typos, like "22 HORKET" 5. Put up an online or downloadable/printable index of all issues, at least of authors/titles, so those of us with complete sets of the GD can do reference work without going online. Since I managed to get an article into the 1984 Digest, How to Collect SPORTING BOOKS, I guess I feel a bit of a proprietary interest in this. I thank you for making all of this information so accessible, and hope to see some of my suggestions implemented someday. Thank you for your time. Jim

I got a polite "Thank you, Jim" in reply.

Action America is where I got the Gun Self Defense clock on the top left above. They have other "clocks" and a ton of interesting information about important issues on their site. Though it is not updated regularly and tends to be Mac-oriented, it is worth browsing through.

I found this factoid they posted on self defense to be interesting:
Guns are used for self-defense between 2.1 Million and 2.5 Million times every year. The following facts from the Kleck/Gertz study relate directly to this fact.

In the vast majority of those self-defense cases, the citizen will only brandish the gun or fire a warning shot.
In less than 8% of those self-defense cases will the citizen will even wound his attacker.
Over 1.9 million of those self-defense cases involve handguns.
As many as 500,000 of those self-defense cases occur away from home.
Almost 10% of those self-defense cases are women defending themselves against sexual assault or abuse.
This means that guns are used 60 times more often to protect the lives of law-abiding citizens than to take a life.
