Disclosing Adverse Events in Clinical Practice: The Delicate Act of Being Open

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I am thinking about going into the medical field when I am older. In one of my classes we were talking about building relationships with your patients so they can have trust in you. I think this article could really relate to that.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: The lead section had all of the right criteria in this article. The article was published in 2020 which is pretty close to being up to date but it could be looked over again just to make sure all the information is still relevant now.

Content: All of the content is relates back to the topic. The introduction paragraph introduces all of the content that is talked about in the paragraphs. I think there is really good content selection in this article as well.

Tone and Balance: I think the article seems to be neutral. Some points in the article do seem one sided because the person that wrote the article is trying to get their point across. I think that most articles have a small bias though. Overall I think this article has a good balance and tone.

Sources and references: All of the sources are cited into the text. They are also mostly peer reviewed articles which makes the information in the article relevant. All of the sources are within about 10 years of the date it was published. The links of the articles do work as well.

Organization and writing quality: I think they organized this article very well. They started with background and then they went into the experiments and then the results. The article has no spelling errors or grammatical errors as well.

Images and Media: The article does include images that support the content. They also included a graph as well.

Talk Page Discussion: This article is part of the health communications journal. The discussion part of the article is well though out and in-depth. They really talk everything through and seem to have a lot of information on the subject.

Overall Impressions: The articles strengths are that all of the information is backed up by a reliable source. Another strength is that the article has relevant data/graphs to support all of the information. One improvement that can be made is making sure there is no bias throughout the article. I think the article is well developed and all of the components of an article are there and very well done.
