I like this idea. Sort of a "this journal article showed that this technique was statistically useful, this one said another technique was not" kind of thing?

Yes, we have the competence to achieve this and it would be extremely beneficial. For example people still say ADHD meds are equally as effective and you can't get legitimate discussion of efficacy because every conversation is just bogged down.

Few people with ADHD know that Stimulants plus Intuniv should cover the broadest range of their symptoms and that having medication last longer because it covers a higher duration of symptoms is better.

Random stuff like that is simple but there exists no place to get it.
