Free Public Health Resource

Consumer Evidence Review: Ask a health question. See what the evidence says.

Submit or support a general health question for possible systematic review. Submission is free, selection is at ProData's discretion, and every published review is free to read.

Why This Resource Exists

Health evidence should make sense to the people it affects.

Consumer Evidence Review is built around four Ps: the Pain, the Promise, the People, and the Process. Together, these four sections explain why Consumer Evidence Review exists, who it serves, and how it transforms published research into clear, trustworthy, plain-language information written at about a sixth-grade reading level or lower.

The Pain

Too much health information. Too little clarity.

Health claims spread rapidly through social media, news coverage, advertising, and everyday conversation. Some are incomplete, exaggerated, or unsupported. Reliable research exists, but it is often written in technical language for specialists. This leaves people trying to sort through conflicting claims without a clear way to know what is trustworthy.

The Promise

Health research, explained so more people can understand it.

ProData Analytics turns published health research into plain-language information. We aim to write each Consumer Evidence Review at a sixth-grade reading level or lower so the findings are easier for more people to understand. We explain what the evidence says, how strongly the research supports each finding, where studies disagree, and what remains uncertain. It is free to suggest a topic, and every completed Consumer Evidence Review is free to read. Submitting a topic does not guarantee selection.

The People

This is for you.

You should not need a medical degree or research training to understand information that could affect your health. If you feel overwhelmed by medical jargon, frustrated by conflicting claims, or need to help your family or community understand a health question, Consumer Evidence Review was created for you.

The Process

We search, compare, check, and explain.

For each accepted question, we define what needs to be answered, search for relevant published research, and compare findings across studies. Two human reviewers examine the evidence independently, while three separate AI systems provide additional checks. Human reviewers resolve differences and remain responsible for every conclusion. We publish the sources, limitations, and level of support behind each important finding.

Our evidence boundary: We synthesize published evidence. We do not conduct new clinical trials or examine anyone’s private medical records. Consumer Evidence Review does not provide personal diagnosis or individualized treatment advice.

Question Scope

General health questions with broad public value.

We consider questions about the health effects of behaviors, exposures, prevention approaches, lifestyle choices, and general health interventions that do not require individualized clinical judgment.

Questions we can consider

  • Health risks of vaping compared with tobacco smoking
  • Physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and prevention questions
  • Health effects of an exposure, behavior, intervention, or product class
  • Questions useful to a broad public audience

Questions outside the initial scope

  • Personal diagnosis, treatment advice, or medical records
  • Legal disputes, policy reviews, or individualized prognosis
  • Brand ratings, shopping advice, endorsements, or commercial comparisons
  • Private links, attachments, or information identifying any person

How Topics Are Selected

Free to suggest. Selected at ProData's discretion.

A suggestion is a nomination, not a promise of acceptance, publication, or a completion date. Popularity alone does not determine selection.

Public-health value

Potential health impact, public relevance, confusion or misinformation, and usefulness to a broad audience.

Evidence and feasibility

Availability of credible evidence, lawful evidence access, systematic-search expertise, reviewer capacity, and practical feasibility.

Independent assessment

Two Human Reviewers assess eligible topics independently. Three AI Harnesses provide separate advisory analyses; they do not vote or decide.

Accepted topics receive a short public selection rationale. Individual scores, rejected suggestions, submitter information, and AI outputs remain private.

Systematic Review Standard

A documented process from question to conclusion.

Every accepted topic is conducted under a prespecified systematic-review methodology and reported in accordance with PRISMA 2020 and applicable extensions.

Prespecify

Lock the review question, eligibility rules, outcomes, search, appraisal, synthesis, AI workflow, and adjudication before screening.

Search and assess

Run reproducible searches, duplicate critical decisions, evaluate risk of bias, and document all method amendments.

Synthesize

Report key findings, effect estimates where appropriate, limitations, and outcome-level GRADE certainty with rationale.

Publish and maintain

Publish the complete written review, sources, methodology, last-search date, version history, disclosures, and annual update assessment.

Human and AI Governance

Human reviewers remain accountable for every final judgment.

Two trained Human Reviewers independently assess critical review decisions. Three distinct AI systems provide supplementary checks only.

Humans decide

Eligibility, extraction, risk of bias, certainty, synthesis, conclusions, and editorial acceptance remain human decisions.

AI checks

AI outputs are logged, validated, disclosed, and reviewed only after the humans record their initial independent judgments.

Disagreements

Human reviewers resolve differences through discussion. A third qualified Human Adjudicator resolves any remaining disagreement.

Privacy and Health Safety

Do not submit personal medical information.

This public-health resource does not provide medical care, diagnosis, individualized treatment advice, or emergency assistance. Do not include protected health information, medical records, names, dates of birth, symptoms, diagnoses, medications, treatments, or clinician details.

If you may be experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 in the United States or contact your local emergency service. Do not use this form.

An optional notification email is private, is not supplied to reviewers or AI systems, is not used for marketing, and is removed under the documented retention policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

About topic suggestions and Evidence Reviews

Is it free to submit a topic?

Yes. Submitting a general health question is free. Published Evidence Reviews are also free to read.

Does submission guarantee a review?

No. ProData selects topics at its discretion using the published public-health, evidence, feasibility, and broad-usefulness criteria.

Can I ask about a product?

You may suggest a question about the health effects of a behavior, exposure, or product class. We do not rate brands, recommend purchases, or conduct commercial comparisons.

What do Upcoming and In Progress mean?

Upcoming means a topic was accepted but research has not started. In Progress means evidence searching or editorial work is underway. Neither status promises a completion date.

Will a video replace the written review?

No. The full written web review is the canonical evidence record. A video may summarize it and will include an accessible transcript.

Can readers comment on a published review?

Yes. Public feedback is human-moderated, attached to a specific review version, and clearly separated from the reviewed evidence. Comments cannot directly change a conclusion.
