A risk-literate lens on hormone therapy choices
Cribsheet offers a model for making emotionally charged decisions when evidence is incomplete and personal values still matter. Oster examines feeding, sleep, childcare, vaccination, discipline, and parental wellbeing by separating data from cultural certainty. Its evidence-first method is directly useful when weighing hormone therapy: assess study quality, define the outcomes that matter, and resist moralizing an individual medical choice. At this stage of life, Cribsheet offers useful practice in risk literacy. Good decisions are rarely free from uncertainty; they combine research, medical context, practical constraints, and the realities of the person who must live with the result.
