Health Issues in the Headlines: Learning to Read Between the Lines

Dark chocolate, red wine, and stem cells - what do these have in common?


All have been reported in the news as having health benefits. Often the 
first place your patrons will hear about health issues is in the media.

This interactive, hands-on CE session will introduce participants to the 
environment of health reporting. Participants will learn about how 
health is reported in the news as well as how to evaluate the accuracy 
and validity of science and health stories. The impact of celebrity 
illness will also be discussed. By the end of this session, participants 
will be better equipped to help their patrons look more critically at 
health issues that are being reported in the news media. Actual news 
articles and research reports will be included for critique.



July 26, 8:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. or 1:30-5:00 p.m. at Camas Public Library
