Content Source
Content for GoVenture Health was researched and written by the MediaSpark team. The MediaSpark team is highly experienced at rigorously researching and creating content for education.
​
Subjects and topics are presented using generally accepted principles of health and wellness. Hundreds of credible sources are used as references. Efforts are made to present content in a way that is free of bias or subjective opinion (or to explicitly include the source of this information), and to cross-reference information with multiple sources for accuracy.
​
Despite MediaSpark's efforts to deliver high-quality content, we understand that some users may have their own content preferences and may desire to conduct their own quality reviews. We encourage such reviews and have made a fully-working trial version freely available to allow for a thorough review of the content prior to determining if GoVenture Health may be a fit for you. Note that GoVenture Health also includes a feature that allows for individual subjects to be hidden.
