Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Self-diagnosis


 * Article Evaluation
 * While the article has relevant content that is written neutrally and with seemingly reliable citations, the article simply doesn't have enough content. It only has one main overview section with a "See also" category directing readers to other pages. The article could benefit from an expansion of its research on misdiagnosis and from an additional section on the tendency to diagnose. This latter section could better help the article address the equity gap surrounding disability and diagnosis.


 * Sources
 * Acknowledging stigma: Its presence in patient care and medical education
 * The Diagnosis Difference
 * Self-diagnosis in a digital world
 * The Health Risks of Self-Diagnosing Mental Disorders
 * The trend toward self-diagnosis

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Medicalization


 * Article Evaluation
 * While the article as a whole has relevant, neutrally-written, and well-cited content, the section on "Healthism" does not. Unfortunately, this section only begins to allude to the presence of ableism, only focusing mainly on a specific UK health campaign that critiqued the abuse of medical statistics to promote the medical industry. In order to better target the equity gap this section theoretically is aiming to solve, it needs more sources on ableism, which it only refers to as "health fascism." Because this section would be dealing mostly with the social ramifications of diagnosis, these sources would not necessarily have to follow MEDRS guidelines.


 * Sources
 * Ableism: the undiagnosed malady afflicting medicine
 * Going beyond Disease to Address Disability
 * Diagnosis and Disability
 * Disability, Diagnosis and the DSA
 * Disability and diagnosis: should role impairment be eliminated from DSM/ICD diagnostic criteria?
 * Three Things Clinicians Should Know About Disability

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Self-care


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a warning that parts are "written like a personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay," referencing the fact that its tone could be neutralized. While it has all the foundations to properly address the equity gap surrounding chronic illness, to properly do so, the article could use some fleshing out. For example, the article mentions that social determinants of heath, such as access to care, can limit one's ability to perform-self care, but doesn't go as far to mention the socio-economic classism and racism that often underpin those determinants. Additionally, the sections on self-care maintenance and management would be very relevant to those with chronic illness or pain, yet the sections do not delve into that topic. Lastly, the article has many missing citations.

 * Racism as a Determinant of Health: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
 * Child Poverty, Toxic Stress, and Social Determinants of Health: Screening and Care Coordination
 * CDC: Social Determinants of Health
