Accessibility Statement

At Health Findings Lab™, we believe that access to clear, research-backed health and wellness information is a fundamental right. We are actively committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, regardless of technology or ability.

Our Commitment

We are continuously working to improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards. Our goal is to empower all users, including those with visual, hearing, cognitive, or motor impairments, to confidently navigate and consume our editorial content and reviews.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Health Findings Lab™ is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that while we strive for full compliance, some parts of the content may not yet fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are continually auditing our platform to address any non-compliant areas.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Health Findings Lab™ takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

• Clear Typography: We use legible sans-serif and serif fonts (Inter and Fraunces) with appropriate line heights and letter spacing.
• Color Contrast: Our brand palette is designed to maintain high contrast ratios between text and background colors to assist users with visual impairments.
• Alternative Text: Meaningful images, including charts and author avatars, include alternative text (alt-text) descriptions for screen readers.
• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to ensure structural clarity for assistive technologies.
• Keyboard Navigation: We strive to make all interactive elements (links, forms, and menus) fully navigable using a keyboard.
• Responsive Design: Our interface adapts to various screen sizes and zoom levels without loss of information or functionality.

Known Limitations

While we strive for excellence in accessibility, you may encounter limitations, particularly with:

• Third-party embedded content or widgets (such as advanced CAPTCHAs or affiliate link tracking mechanisms) over which we have limited control.
• Older PDF documents or downloadable research files that may not yet be fully optimized for screen readers.
