Our Editorial Standards
At Rational Growth, we believe every claim deserves evidence. Here is how we create and maintain our content.
Research-First Approach
Every article starts with a review of peer-reviewed studies, clinical guidelines, and authoritative sources. For health and ADHD content (YMYL topics), we prioritize:
- Government sources: NIH, CDC, WHO, NHS
- Medical institutions: Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins
- Peer-reviewed journals: Nature, The Lancet, JAMA, Journal of Attention Disorders
- Professional organizations: APA, CHADD, ADDitude
Citation Standards
Each article includes 2-5 inline citations [1][2] linked to a References section at the bottom. We use numbered citations so readers can verify any claim directly.
What We Avoid
- Unsupported health claims or miracle cures
- AI-generated filler text without human review
- Affiliate links disguised as editorial recommendations
- Clickbait titles that misrepresent content
Updates and Corrections
We review and update articles regularly. Each article displays a “Last updated” date. If you find an error, please contact us.
