Our Editorial Team

Who writes Clarity

Clarity is produced by the Clarity Sexual Health editorial team — a small group of health writers and editors working to a single documented standard, our editorial policy. We are health educators and writers, not practising clinicians, and we say so plainly rather than implying clinical authority we don't have.

What that means in practice: we do not originate medical guidance. We translate the existing consensus of major public health bodies into plain English, cite it, and link back to it so you can check us.

How an article gets made

We use AI tooling to research and draft against a documented editorial standard, with human direction and review at every stage. We think being specific about that is more useful to you than a vague claim either way, so here is the actual process:

1. Sourcing. Every article starts from primary guidance — World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), UK National Health Service (NHS), American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) — rather than from other people's blog posts.
2. Drafting. An outline is built around the questions readers actually search for, then drafted in plain, clinical language against those sources and a written style and safety standard.
3. Citation verification. Source links are checked to be live and on-topic, and health claims are traced back to a named authority. Where a figure cannot be sourced, we remove the figure rather than soften the wording around it.
4. Editorial audit. The full library is periodically audited for factual accuracy, unattributed statistics, internal contradictions between related articles, and clinical tone. The most recent full audit was completed in August 2026; it corrected several factual errors, added missing attributions, and reconciled figures that disagreed across linked articles.
5. Safety pass. We check that each article says when to seek care, flags emergencies clearly, and includes helplines where the topic warrants them.
6. Maintenance. Articles carry a visible last-updated date and are revisited when guidance changes.

What this does not include is clinical review — see below.

Our medical review status

Our articles are not currently reviewed by a named, independently credentialed clinician. We think you should know that rather than have to guess. Our content is grounded in and cited to authoritative clinical guidance, but grounding is not the same thing as review, and we won't blur the two.

Building a named clinical review layer is our top editorial priority. When an article has been reviewed, the reviewer is named on the page with their credentials and the review date. We will never attribute a review to someone who did not perform it, and we will never invent a reviewer.

Are you a clinician?

We are actively looking for qualified healthcare professionals — physicians, nurse practitioners, midwives, pharmacists, sexual health specialists — to review articles in their area of expertise. Reviewers are named and credited. If that interests you, please get in touch via our contact page.

Corrections

We would rather be corrected than be wrong. If you spot an error — especially a clinical one — email hello@claritysexualhealth.com. We investigate every report, correct confirmed errors promptly, and update the article's revision date so the change is visible.

Independence

This site is funded by advertising. Advertisers have no input into what we publish, which topics we cover, or how we present health information, and we do not accept sponsored or paid placements inside editorial content. See our editorial policy for how we keep that separation.
