Alcohol education

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have chosen this article because I was looking for a health education article to evaluate. Since this is the field that I would like to go in for the future, I wanted to see what information is out there for people to read since this is a place where people come from information and knowledge. My first impression was that this page is filled with a lot of important information and even went into alcohol education in schools. However, towards the end of the article, it seems to be lacking in information about other locations other than Australia and the U.S.. The page only talks about Australia's history and organizations for alcohol education at the end.

The lead section concisely explains what alcohol education is in one need sentence. It also explained a summary of the background of alcohol education. However, I do not think it highlights other sections on the page. The lead section does not add any reference towards alcohol education in schools or programs. The lead also goes into different organizations in the U.S. that help with alcohol education but never mentions it in the rest of the page. All of the content is relevant to alcohol education. The writing on the page is concise and clear. Some of the references are a little old. From what I have seen, the latest reference was from 2015.The article stayed neutral throughout and spoke in facts. They referenced the literature in which they got their data from. On the page there only contains one image and it is of a baby drinking beer. I am not sure how effective that is. They could add images of substance abuse education programs or organizations. In the talk page, there has been talk about adding the DARE program into the page which might be a good idea since a lot of kids know what that is. There was also talk about grammar changes or changing how something is worded in order to get the point across better. Overall, I think this article can be updated and be improved in a lot of aspects, but it gives a good base knowledge on what alcohol education is and why it is important.
