ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

David M. Eddy

David M. Eddy is someone who helps people figure out how to make decisions about their health.

When we are sick, we go to the doctor to help us feel better. The doctor might recommend things like taking medicine, changing our diet, or getting more exercise. But how do we know which of these things will actually make us feel better?

David M. Eddy is like a detective who looks at all the different options and tries to figure out which one will work the best. He looks at things like what the research says, how much the treatment costs, and how safe it is.

Once he figures out which treatment is the best, he tells the doctors and the people who are sick so they can make the right decisions about their health.

In short, David M. Eddy helps people make decisions about their health by finding the best treatment options.
