What evidence labels mean

Some lessons carry a small label saying how well research supports what they teach. It helps you judge how much weight to give an idea, and what to ask your clinician about.

Steps

1. In the Learning Center, look for a label beside a week or lesson.
2. To see what it means, select the label on a week or lesson page, or select What do the evidence labels mean? above the week list. You can also go straight to Evidence labels.

Good to know

• Established — backed by consistent evidence from well-designed studies and reflected in clinical guidelines.
• Promising — supported by early or limited studies. Likely helpful, but the evidence is still growing.
• Experimental — emerging ideas with little direct evidence yet, shared so you can discuss them rather than as settled practice.
• A label is added only after a lesson has been reviewed. No label means it hasn't been rated yet, not that the evidence is weak.
• A lesson can carry its own label when it differs from its week's.
• Lessons are educational only. Discuss any change with your prescribing clinician.
