Our Mission
HomenHealthy provides practical, trustworthy information about home and healthy living. We prioritize evidence-based guidance, clear disclosures, and reader trust.
Topic Selection
We identify topics based on reader needs, search interest, seasonal relevance, and editorial expertise. We avoid topics that require professional diagnosis or treatment unless authored or reviewed by qualified contributors and clearly labeled.
Research Standards
- Sources: We rely on primary sources (peer-reviewed research, government/NGO data, manufacturer documentation) and reputable secondary sources.
- Attribution: We cite and link sources where feasible.
- Claims & Numbers: Health-adjacent claims require credible citations. We avoid unsubstantiated superlatives and miracle claims.
- Conflicts: Authors disclose any material relationships (financial, gifts, affiliations). Conflicted writers are recused from related coverage.
Review & Fact-Checking
- Editorial Review: Every article is reviewed by an editor for clarity, usefulness, and compliance with our policies (privacy, advertising, and endorsements).
- Expert Review (when applicable): Health-related content may be reviewed by qualified professionals; such articles are labeled “Medically Reviewed” or “Expert Reviewed.”
Updates & Maintenance
- Articles are revisited on a schedule appropriate to the topic (e.g., annually or sooner as facts change). Updated pieces display a “Last Updated” date and summary of changes when material.
Advertising, Sponsorships & Affiliate Links
- Independence: Our editorial opinions are independent of advertisers and sponsors.
- Disclosure: Sponsored articles are labeled “Sponsored” or “Paid Partnership.”
- Affiliate Links: We may earn commissions from qualifying purchases via affiliate links, at no extra cost to you. We do not accept compensation to favor specific outcomes or ratings.
Product Reviews & Recommendations
- Criteria: We evaluate based on features, quality, price/value, usability, and support.
- Testing: Where possible, we test products hands-on; otherwise, we analyze reputable third-party testing and user feedback.
- Comparisons: We strive for balanced comparisons and disclose limitations (e.g., not all brands tested).
- Gifts/Samples: Receipt of samples or loans is disclosed and does not guarantee coverage or a positive review.
Use of AI Tools
We may use AI-assisted tools for brainstorming, grammar, or formatting. Editors review all AI-assisted content for accuracy, tone, and policy compliance before publication. We do not publish AI-generated images of people without disclosure.
Corrections & Feedback
We welcome reader feedback. See our Corrections / Fact-Checking Policy for how to report an issue.
