Judy was collecting information for a research project on teens killing themselves. She happened to read a news article about how some medicines increase the chance of killing themselves in kids and teens. How could a medicine that was supposed to help kids with depression actually make them feel worse?
Large newspapers, magazines, TV networks, and radio stations often have medical reporters to cover developments in health and medicine. Their job is to report scientific information in a way that’s easy for most people to understand. Many health stories are accurate and balanced.
But not all are. Sometimes, reporters try to quickly cram(塞满) information into a short news
story, and they make the information simple. What you see may not be the whole picture. To catch a reader’s attention, news reports sometimes say something untrue. Besides,
medical news reports often focus on people’s personal stories, not scientific studies. Personal
stories are interesting, but often they don’t prove anything about health or treatments in general. It takes a well-done study to do that. And sometimes these studies just aren’t exciting enough to make the news.
When you hear about a new medical development, the first question to ask yourself is whether the news is based on a scientific study. Knowing there’s a study behind the news is only the first step, though. How the study was done (and who did it) matters, too.
A lot of medical research is done in the laboratory or in lab animals, not in people —at least, not at first. Lab studies help scientists find out whether a drug looks promising(有前途的), how it works, and whether there might be side effects(副作用). But what happens in a laboratory
does not always work the same in people.
When watching or reading a news report about a new drug or treatment, see if it tells you whether the findings are in animals or people. Even if a study was done in people, it may not apply(应用)to you.
