Option 1

 * Article title
 * Opioid Use Disorder


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think this is a good article but I think it could lose some sections and update some of the information. Some of the information is 10+ years out of date so I think it could use some updating.


 * Sources
 * Blanco, C., & Volkow, N. D. (2019). Management of opioid use disorder in the USA: present status and future directions. The Lancet, 393(10182), 1760-1772.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Opioid Epidemic in the United States


 * Article Evaluation
 * this article needs cleaned up a lot. I think it is way too long to read comfortably. It contains a lot of good information but it is badly put together.


 * Sources
 * Lyden, J., & Binswanger, I. A. (2019, April). The United States opioid epidemic. In Seminars in perinatology (Vol. 43, No. 3, pp. 123-131). WB Saunders.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Opioid Epidemic


 * Article Evaluation
 * this is a well put together article. it is kind of short though. The opioid epidemic is a very important thing and there is lots of information about it so i think the page could use much more content.


 * Sources
 * Rembert, M. H., Betz, M. R., Feng, B., & Partridge, M. D. (2017). Taking measure of Ohio's opioid crisis.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Opioid Receptor


 * Article Evaluation
 * this article does a good job of reviewing the important receptors and gives a good list of other receptors. though it does have a limited amount of information.


 * Sources
 * Eisenstein, T. K. (2019). The role of opioid receptors in immune system function. Frontiers in Immunology, 10, 2904.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Opioid Withdrawal


 * Article Evaluation
 * this article is very limited on information. It doesn't speak much at all about ways to help withdrawal symptoms and doesn't give a great explanation of what withdrawal actually is.


 * Sources
 * Pergolizzi Jr, J. V., Raffa, R. B., & Rosenblatt, M. H. (2020). Opioid withdrawal symptoms, a consequence of chronic opioid use and opioid use disorder: Current understanding and approaches to management. Journal of clinical pharmacy and therapeutics, 45(5), 892-903.
