Why Plain Language Summaries?

“Clear, concise plain language summaries make complex and unfamiliar information easier to read and understand. They are of critical importance because (1) some online material can be fake, malicious or inaccurate; (2) people need to trust, understand and implement important health research messages; and (3) have an accurate, informed choice when basing life-changing decisions on published medical evidence.”
