Christine Goedhart, PhD, a science education specialist, leads the discussion, emphasizing critical thinking and evaluation skills. Dr. Goedhart outlines five essential tips: (1) acknowledging personal biases, (2) reading the full published study, (3) determining the quality of evidence, (4) considering the study within the larger context of research, and (5) having a trusted anchor source. The example used involves a CNN Health headline claiming cannabis is extremely dangerous to fetuses, which Dr. Goedhart deconstructs to illustrate potential inaccuracies and the importance of context. The talk highlights various ACS resources available to members, including a clinical reference library, educational videos, and position papers.
