INTRODUCING OUR PODCAST:

Parents Making Informed Health Choices

  • This podcast has seven episodes, each about 30 minutes long. It helps you learn how to make smart choices about healthcare for you and your family. The stories are about real situations and examples where people decide what’s best for their health, especially when people say certain things about what works in healthcare.

  • Anyone can listen! It's especially great for parents. If you ever wondered how to pick the best healthcare choices, this podcast is just right for you!

  • When someone talks about a treatment, ask these four questions before deciding what to do:

    1. Why do people say the treatment works?

    2. Did researchers compare this treatment to others?

    3. If researchers compared treatments, was the research done fairly?

    4. Did researchers look at all the fair comparisons of the treatments?

    When you ask these questions, you can make better choices for your health and your family's health.
