There are thousands of claims in healthcare. Most are untrue. Your inability to assess these claims for yourself renders you vulnerable. By applying the principles of Critical Thinking, this blog aims to help you evaluate healthcare claims for yourself.

The process is simple. A claim is only as good as the evidence that supports it. So the first step is to gather the evidence and evaluate it for accuracy, relevance, and bias. The next step is to give the claim and its evidence context by finding similar claims with similar evidence from the past, and see how they performed. With this, you can determine how likely the claim is true.
