How we write
Trace’s stories, articles and courses are general information about life with ADHD. They never tell you what to do about your own treatment. This is how they’re made.
Where facts come from
Every fact about ADHD, health, medicines or health services comes from a public source we name: the NHS, NICE, the BNF, patient leaflets, the CDC, NIMH, the FDA, national ADHD guidelines and published reviews of research. Charities like ADHD UK and CHADD help with practical ideas, never with medical facts. Each piece lists its sources.
How we write
We say no more than a source says, and say who said it. We don’t invent people, quotes or numbers. We don’t give dose amounts or timings, compare medicines, or suggest starting, stopping or changing anything. Some topics, like medicines in pregnancy or alongside other drugs, wait until clinicians can review them.
How we check
We use AI tools to help research and draft. Every fact is then checked against its source in a separate pass, twice for anything about medicines, and a person reads and approves every piece before it’s published.
Clinical review
Our content isn’t yet reviewed by clinicians. We’ll add named clinical reviewers as Trace grows, starting with medicines, and a reviewed piece will say who reviewed it.
Updates and mistakes
We look at every source again at least once a year, and every six months for medicines and health services. If you spot a mistake, use “Spot a mistake?” on any piece or email hello@trace-adhd.com. We fix mistakes quickly, without an app update.
Who pays for it
Trace is paid for by subscriptions. No drug company, advertiser or sponsor pays for or shapes our content.
