Peer-Reviewed Lit
Years of biology research has acquainted me with peer-reviewed literature all too well. So for me, finding the information was not extremely difficult. Although sometimes it is easy to get bogged down with the complex statistics and in-depth analyses, I think reading scholarly information in invaluable. If I were a parent looking for this information, I wouldn't want articles that came from the first results page on Google. I would want something that utilized the scientific method in its study and whose methods and findings have been scrutinized by fellow researchers. To a point, there would be value in making these articles more available to the public. However, the way these articles are written is not friendly to the general populous - the majority of the individuals who need this knowledge anyway. What would be helpful is there was an abridged, summarized, or simplified version of the information included in information healthcare professionals already distribute to parents.
