What we mean when we say “expert reviewed”
We use the phrase only when a named reviewer has checked specific content and we have recorded the decision.
When Resilient Kids describes guidance as expert reviewed, we mean that a named reviewer checked a specific article or recommendation. The review statement shows what was reviewed, who reviewed it, when the review happened, and its current status.[2][3]
We name the exact content
Before the review begins, we name the article or recommendation and give the reviewer one clear question to answer. The review stays tied to the words families will read.[4]
We choose a reviewer for that question
We match the question to the reviewer’s training and experience. If the guidance needs another field of expertise, we assign that part of the review separately.[3][4]
The reviewer can change the guidance
The reviewer can approve the wording, request changes, narrow a claim, or tell us to wait before publishing. When the reviewer requests a change, we send the revised draft back before we describe the guidance as reviewed.[4]
We check for possible conflicts
Before choosing a reviewer, we ask about financial or professional relationships connected to the topic. The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors asks reviewers to disclose relationships that could influence a review and to step away when a conflict could affect their judgment. We use the same safeguard.[1][4]
What this means for parents
When you see expert reviewed on Resilient Kids guidance, the label points to a specific completed review. You can see who reviewed it, what the reviewer checked, when the review happened, and what the reviewer decided.[2][3][4]
