This page explains how Blackburn Clinical Services writes, sources, reviews and updates the health information on blackburnclinical.com, and how to reach us if something needs correcting.
Who writes our content
Articles on this site are published by Blackburn Clinical Services and carry the byline “Blackburn Clinical Services.” Our service and condition pages describe the care we provide at our practice at 12326 Venice Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90066. We use AI writing tools to help research and draft some of our content, and we say so here so readers know. Pages that show a named clinical reviewer have been checked by that clinician.
Sources we rely on
Factual health statements are based on authoritative public sources, and we link to them on the page. We favor:
- National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
- Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
- National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
- National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
- MedlinePlus, from the National Library of Medicine
We avoid outcome promises. When we describe how well a treatment works, we say what the cited source says and nothing more.
Clinical review
We are adding named clinical review to our condition pages. A page shows a “Clinically reviewed by” line only after a licensed clinician on our team has read that page, confirmed or corrected its medical content, and agreed to be named. Reviewer names link to the clinician’s profile on our team page.
Updates and corrections
We review health pages when guidance from our sources changes and when our services change. If you see something that is inaccurate or out of date, email info@blackburnclinical.com or call (888) 870 7405. We correct factual errors promptly and update the page.
