Weekly digest - August 13, 2012
devoted to news about the myriad messages about health care interventions that flood
Americans daily
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How well did these stories address our 10 criteria?
U-M oversees cutting-edge trial that offers hope in fight against Lou Gehrig's disease
[http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001aOJhGZs5mEwtprebTfRhiMBfqY46u7gswe_daaY5LTEcaWbljLQS2aY4Ff134NBqJuRqaTf4vikxz474lchfh-fStwevBTv6GKLomooMCdwcKvpzPcbGFCGq2vI9WZ2BehvxjC--SF7hYDv1wJn10OHynBHzvDB_TZJxNWqEo8abb58OwnhB7kc4NAZAinouIhROtrfqiHpx-K11kEwFhl2M7rCCE7geIg0SZkYHm4eVSTfdJtVw2eeavaJB7kPj]
A beautifully written two-part report for which we offer only a few thoughts of
constructive criticism.
Magnetic stimulation helps some people with treatment-resistant depression [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001aOJhGZs5mExwbSdhtcUtLBCESvtR886y_Rfx0uSExwxPr8mlpRGHY9-1CN5RVCMOsBGs8himxb6zYdyuT4ePRdlv5cE1cM5hU2nn9tdtfBW_TDb56xDhcHKVl5wTeaeJP9T-SCD7FVJFQZS6jwl_DT5c7HcRiOk-R0nPMTiAuePR95WuuR82yeVG6luD4fQfkVIBVX8jcGMlG1axkylr9VxGCDehba25XJaeng4W44Fybg6Vc2cHWw==]
This Kaiser Health News piece published in the Post was a very thorough assessment
of a new technology for treating patients whose depression does not respond to
medication. Balanced story that addressed many key issues.
And here's a cross-media comparison:
Hormone boosts mental function in small study [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001aOJhGZs5mEyG8VBzvc9AKmKM1_5rf3iqvHe9i2elLQm-WGEEpLHOWUZXZBHsmqK77VqOvqnLNbUEXo4xF0P-mEdjxtbyps0Z9xxvtJKULw4qDO2G-xEYh-YoGyWiNQPZF3tELWfdEUMiY6EcxZX5cCYo5LN5IuysxE-B3ZZlcj_LhmAcrC644n4SDLC_IEppRh_vxHZeFZk=]
Better than the competing HealthDay story in its analysis and its placement of clear
caveats up high in the story.
Hormone May Boost Aging, Failing Brains [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001aOJhGZs5mEyTJmM1uPy8Gyyf4JNBYbfPdTpwYBlrzAHiS1HIg31A74MqJUPAfsJH1jr8yAATW-gFsjitttYZqLM72mxX46PaxY0WgopFlZy1e8uIr1P5R9Yw2J2mMnZf6yAsh0XFnUSu3zj0avHmbdlvTjiQ5yX5BIbN9ucDKVOaU_S1WGerw8-Va800e8fZ]
70% of the stories we review fail to adequately address costs. This is one of them.
