Abstract: | This study's purpose was to investigate the types and quality of health information reported in Glamour and Men's Health magazines. While neither magazine was completely accurate when reporting results of medical journal articles, there were statistically significant differences with respect to accuracy between the two magazines. These findings suggest that health experts, PIOs, and journalists need to work more closely together in order to provide the public with accurate and clear health information. |
