About Consumer Reports HealthFor more than 75 years, Consumer Reports has been working for a fair, just, and safe marketplace for all consumers and empowering consumers to protect themselves. Fighting for a better health marketplace has been a significant part of that work. To maintain its independence and remain free of any conflicts of interest, Consumer Reports accepts no ads, free samples, or corporate contributions. Its income comes from the sale of its publications and from services, fees, and noncommercial contributions and grants.As consumers become increasingly involved in their own health decisions, they need unbiased, accurate, evidence-based information to compare their options and to make appropriate choices for themselves and their families. Our trusted research, testing, and reporting on health products and services appears regularly in Consumer Reports magazine, ConsumerReports.org, Consumer Reports on Health newsletter, and our other media products. The editors at Consumer Reports have created this series of Reports to bring together our expert research and analysis, findings on consumer experiences based on our own national surveys, and independent Ratings to guide you through your options and to help you make better health decisions. For more information about Consumer Reports Health Ratings, including our team and methodology, go to www.ConsumerReports.org/health. There you will find more advice on a broad range of health topics, from how to choose an over-the-counter pain reliever to selecting a health insurer. Subscribers can also access exclusive Ratings of prescription drugs, medical treatments, hospitals, heart surgeons, health insurance plans, and healthy-living products and services. National Business Group on Health members and others who would like to discuss cost-effective printing solutions for print dissemination of this report to members/employees can contact Dominic Lorusso, Associate Director, Consumer Reports Health Partner Development at HealthImpact@cr.consumer.org. |
