Women's reproductive health in the United States

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
As a woman residing in the United States, further educating myself on women's reproductive rights will be deeply beneficial to me from not only a personal standpoint, but also a legal one. Additionally, being aware of the different implications contraceptions and their availability have on different groups of people will serve as fundamental information to utilize in future research.

Evaluate the article
The lead section adequately defines women's reproductive health in the United States, which is the topic of the article. An introduction of the topics that will be presented in the article such as sexual health, available contraception methods, and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases is also included. The content in the article is evenly distributed, and does not focus on one area more than another. The content is up to date, although there is a statistic presented from 2008 that is still applicable today. It touches on one of Wikipedia's equity gaps- reproductive disparities between white and minority women. The article adopts a neutral tone, is informational, and seems to be unbiased and non-persuasive. The facts in the article are backed up by secondary sources that are thorough, current, and are written by a diverse spectrum of authors. However, there is an edit that indicates a fact presented still needs a citation. The article is well organized in that it is easy to read, is concise, contains little-no grammatical errors, and is broken up into sections that reflect the major points of the topic discussed. There are no images included to enhance the understanding of the topic. On the talk page, there are primarily mentions regarding edits made on grammar and the addition of sections that others felt would enhance the information presented. One example is the added reproductive mental health section. This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, and it has been a part of several WikiProjects. Apart from the lessons learned in class, this article explored the different contraceptive methods available to women in detail, and covered the topic from a mental health aspect while bringing awareness to the inequalities in it to the readers. Overall, this article does a good job of presenting information on the main aspects in women's reproductive health, and using a medical perspective to educate readers. This article can be improved through the use of visuals such as graphs comparing the inequities in the healthcare system among different groups, adding missing citations, and incorporating more data from 2022. Additionally, this article seemed to be well-developed.
