About Our Editorial Standards

Each article is created through a collaborative process between experienced health writers and licensed medical professionals. Articles undergo multiple editorial checkpoints, including, but not limited to, fact-checking against primary references such as peer-reviewed research, government agencies, and academic institutions. Every piece then receives a final review by a licensed medical professional before publication to ensure accuracy and cultural relevance.

All sources are listed at the bottom of each article, ensuring transparency and accountability. Our articles also include direct insights from healthcare professionals, particularly those serving Black communities.

Health looks different for everyone. Our stories, language, and imagery reflect the breadth of Black identity across gender, age, body type, and lived experience. We prioritize coverage of conditions and disparities that disproportionately affect our community.

We translate complex medical information into clear, approachable language. Our goal is to empower readers with knowledge and actionable takeaways, not to overwhelm them with jargon or sensationalism.

Blavity Health content is created for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical care. Sponsored or branded material is always clearly labeled, and corrections are made promptly when needed.

Blavity Health is more than a content platform; it's a community resource. We bridge the gap between research and lived experience, combating misinformation while equipping our readers with knowledge to advocate for themselves and their loved ones.

Our trusted medical experts help turn research into reliable, culturally relevant health guidance.
