You are invited to join us for a book discussion at the Lanpher Library on Wednesday, March 11th 6:00-7:30 on the book "Know Your Chances: How to See Through the Hype in Medical, News Ads and Public Service Announcements". Copies of the book are available at the Lanpher Library, 141 Main St. Hyde Park.

Health messages can be confusing and misleading. The goal of this book discussion is to provide some background information and tools on how to better understand just what those numbers in health messages mean and what questions to ask to see behind the hype to discover what the message is actually saying.

"The authors Steven Woloshin, Lisa Schwartz and H. Gilbert Welsh, are general internists at the Department of Veteran Affairs, White River Junction, VT and professors at Dartmouth Medical School. Woloshina dn Welch are co-directors of the Center for Medicine and the Media at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice."
