Editorial Standards & Process
Midi Health sets the highest standards for content, ensuring that our articles are deeply researched, accurate, and up to date. Just as important, we aim to produce content that makes readers feel seen and understood. As a company, Midi’s mission is to revolutionize healthcare for women at midlife, wherever they live and whatever their health story. Our core values guide everything we do, and the following guidelines ensure our content is reliable, accessible, and reflective of our commitment to improving public understanding of health and wellness.
Mission and Values
Our mission is to empower readers with accurate, accessible, and compassionate health information that guides them through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. We recognize that midlife health can be complex and intimidating, and we are dedicated to providing clear, evidence-based advice without causing unnecessary alarm. Our editorial team works tirelessly to simplify complex topics, fostering a supportive environment that helps readers make informed health decisions with confidence.
Commitment to Clarity and Compassion
Content should always be written in a way that feels accessible and empathetic. We strive to make every piece approachable, ensuring that readers feel educated and supported, as if a knowledgeable friend is guiding them through health topics.
Content Integrity and Ethics
- Evidence-Based Information
All health information is grounded in current, evidence-based research. Content is reviewed by experts and supported by primary sources like peer-reviewed journals, government health organizations, or accredited institutions. - Transparency and Accountability
Articles must clearly indicate their sources. Citations are placed either within the text or listed at the end of each piece. - Anti-Bias and Inclusivity Pledge
Our content must serve all readers, regardless of their background, identity or age. This includes a commitment to diverse voices in health writing and a representation of experiences across various identities, cultures, and communities. Additionally, all content will follow guidelines to avoid outdated or stigmatizing language.
Editorial Process and Quality Assurance
- Rigorous Review Process
All content undergoes a rigorous review process to ensure accuracy, relevance, and comprehensiveness. The editorial team collaborates closely with medical experts and fact-checkers to produce high-quality, reliable information. - Medical Expert Board Review
Health-related content is reviewed by qualified healthcare professionals with relevant expertise. Our reviewers are all either medical doctors or hold a doctorate degree in nursing or lead teams of nurse practitioners who deliver evidence-based care. Our writers interview subject area experts who are leaders in their field or who lead national organizations relevant to the topic. This step ensures that all information aligns with the latest medical consensus and is factually accurate.
Regular Updates
Medical research and health information evolve over time. We routinely review and update content to ensure it reflects the latest standards, guidelines, and statistics. Each article displays a “last updated” date to indicate its recency.
Sources and Citations
- Source Integrity
Only reputable and up-to-date sources are referenced, including government agencies, peer-reviewed journals, and accredited universities. Articles avoid reliance on anonymous sources and prioritize human-based research over animal or in vitro studies unless specifically noted. - Clear Citation Practices
All sources cited clearly within the article and/or in a reference list at the end of each piece. This practice promotes transparency, allowing readers to verify the information presented.
Inclusivity and Diversity Standards
- Diverse Content Creation
We are committed to including voices from diverse backgrounds, particularly BIPOC contributors, throughout our health coverage. Topics related to race, gender, or other identities should be addressed with sensitivity, accuracy, and a commitment to inclusivity. - Inclusive Language and Representation
Our editorial standards require the use of inclusive and affirming language. Writers and editors are encouraged to avoid language that could be considered exclusionary, stigmatizing, or outdated. Content should be checked to ensure that it respects all identities, abilities, and experiences. - Empathy-Driven Language
Using compassionate language is crucial, especially when discussing sensitive health topics. Writers and editors prioritize clear, supportive, and reassuring language, especially in topics that may cause reader concern.
Corrections and Feedback Mechanism
Our team regularly revises content to keep it current with the latest medical guidelines and research findings. Articles display the most recent update date to assure readers of the information’s accuracy. If errors are discovered, we correct them promptly. Readers are encouraged to contact us at marketing@joinmidi.com with feedback to help us continuously improve.
Continuous Improvement and Adaptation
Commitment to Evolving Standards
Our standards for accuracy, inclusivity, and compassion in health writing will evolve alongside new research, language, and public understanding. Periodic reviews of this editorial policy will ensure our practices meet the highest possible standards and align with reader needs.
