Home Search Your Guide to Quackery, Health Fraud, and Intelligent Decisions Send This Page to a Friend Questionable Organizations: An Overview Stephen Barrett, M.D. Promoters of questionable health practices often form organizations to multiply their effectiveness. How can one tell which groups are reliable and which are not? There is no sure way, but nine precautionary questions may help: 1. Are its ideas inside the scientific mainstream? Some groups admit that they were formed because their founders felt alienated from the scientific community. One group that made no secret of this was actually called the American Quack Association , whose main purposes were to provide emotional support to its members, poke fun at their critics, and stimulate positive public feelings toward unconventional practitioners. The group was founded in 1985 by Jonathan Wright, M.D., who became its president, and Roy Kupsinel, M.D., a "holistic" practitioner from Florida, who became its vice-president. It attracted about 300 members but no longer appears active. 2. Who are its leaders and advisors?

Resources In spring 2004, the National School Boards Association and Americans for the Arts convened to discuss opportunities for collaboration in a nationwide campaign to increase the presence and quality of arts education in American public schools. The arts serve as a critical component to a complete education and are proven to increase student academic achievement. Young people who consistently participate in comprehensive, sequential, and rigorous arts programs are: 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement 3 times more likely to be elected to class office within their schools 4 times more likely to participate in a math and science fair 3 times more likely to win an award for school attendance 4 times more likely to win an award for writing an essay or poem* For many of America's youth, public schools serve as the major provider of formalized arts instruction. Therefore, it is critical that the arts maintain their status as a core academic subject within a school district's educational mission and that they are adequately funded.

search options Saturday, September 24, 2005 Research No Child Left Behind requires that educators use “scientifically-based research” to guide decisions on programs and resources to use in the classroom. To help educators sort practices backed by rigorous evidence from those that are not, the U.S. Department of Education has provided the resource, “Identifying and Implementing Educational Practices Supported By Rigorous Evidence: A User Friendly Guide” . This Guide explains that in order to identify “strong evidence of effectiveness,” well-designed and implemented randomized controlled trials are needed; type of research has not been very common in education. Until randomized controlled trials are more widespread, existing research studies can be mined for “possible evidence of effectiveness." See the Guide referenced above for a checklist on things to consider when evaluating research evidence.
