Trust and accountability

Medical editorial standards

How MDA researches, reviews, dates, corrects, and improves educational health content.

Source hierarchy

We prioritize government health agencies, peer-reviewed literature, consensus guidance, trial registries, and recognized mitochondrial medicine centers.

Named review

A clinician is named only after reviewing the content and approving public attribution. Unreviewed pages are labeled pending clinical review.

Review dates

Medical pages show the most recent evidence review. High-change pages such as clinical trials are checked more frequently.

Corrections

Material errors are corrected promptly, documented internally, and re-reviewed when they affect medical meaning.

Conflicts

Authors and reviewers should disclose relevant financial, research, or organizational relationships.

Patient boundaries

Content is educational, avoids individualized recommendations, and clearly routes emergencies and clinical decisions to qualified care.
