For consumers, CHJ is a free, monthly journal dedicated to providing in-depth health information that isn't swayed by market or advertiser demands. With articles from study result analysis (pregnancy and alcohol, milk and cancer) to lighter fare (health insurance for dogs, the geography of fat), CHJ tries to publish information that is otherwise hard to come by. Mainstream health reporting is currently dysfunctional. The media that have the technical information are impossible to read, and the media that are possible to read omit the technical information. Important health news is lost in the trivial, the incomprehensible, and the sensational. Consumer Health Journal is a hybrid: we read the studies for you, and translate them into readable English. But we tell you where to find them, too, in case you want to read them for yourself. We also provide background biology and end-of-article reporter's notes, as well as mid-article links to our sources. You can take our word on the issues, but we won't force you to. This will be added to Healthcare Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide.
