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
 * Social Determinants of Obesity


 * Article Evaluation
 * Content appears to be relevant and neutral. Some categories only have a handful of sentences and should be expanded further. Lab studies section is not cited, though the rest of the article seems to be cited. More charts and graphs may be good here. Some of the citations are from poor sources like websites rather than journal articles and there seem to be journal articles that are primary sources, which aren't good to use.


 * Sources
 * Noriea, A.H., Patel, F.N., Werner, D.A. et al. Curr Diab Rep (2018) 18: 24. https://doi-org.libproxy.union.edu/10.1007/s11892-018-0990-8
 * Bryant, P. H., Hess, A., & Bowen, P. G. (2015). Social determinants of health related to obesity. The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, 11(2), 220-225. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2014.10.027

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Social Emergency Medicine


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article seems to content relevant content and appears neutral. There are a couple of spots that citations may need to be added, but overall it is good. The main problem with this article is that it is very general and very short. The information present seems fine, there just doesn't seem to be enough of it. There are some spots that may need to be reworded for clarity. Some currently cited sources seem fine, but there are also citations from websites and citations of content that seems too primary and specific (for example, one of the sources titles refers to "one hospital's story"). There are also aren't images of any kind.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Rural health


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article content seems to be relevant and neutral. There are occasional spots that seem to require citations that aren't there. The health determinants section has sections within it that are very short and should be explained further. There could also likely be more categories there than those discussed since there are many social determinants of health and this article has only four sections. When the sections are expanded, I think there would be opportunities to divide a section into multiple sections as well, which would improve this issue. A number of sources seem to be over 15 years old, so it may be helpful to include some more recent research on the topic. There are also sources that are from newspaper websites rather than journals or books, so the information found there could be found in more appropriate sources for an article on this topic.

 * State of New York Legislative Commission on Rural Resources. (1995). Rural health resource guide: a compilation of data and information on rural health in New York State. Albany, NY.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * People's Health Movement


 * Article Evaluation
 * Content seems relevant. Neutrality can be called into question as a result of citations from the organization's website, something which Wikipedia doesn't allow for its articles due to bias. Some of the sources don't seem to be of the types that Wikipedia would like used for this type of article (newspaper sites for example). A large middle section is lacking in citations.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Preventive healthcare


 * Article Evaluation
 * Content appears relevant and neutral. There are a handful of places that may need additional citation, but it appears good overall. Many sources appear reliable though there are a few that don't belong (there is one referenced as being an opinion article, which isn't the greatest option of a type of source). There is a lot of content here, but a lot of it references preventive efforts in terms of healthcare access and screenings and there isn't a lot on the other factors we've discussed in class that would prevent the problem before healthcare even had to get involved (better neighborhoods/living environments, etc.). There is only some discussion of education against things such as smoking and a part discussing the importance of food to health, but I think more social determinants information could be worked in.
