Peer Review Mehayla
Hey Katchyaa! Thank you very much for reviewing my sandbox. However, I think you were supposed to review Leila Berkovitz and Saaleha Bey's articles and I was supposed to review yours.

Access to medicine
It seems this is where you're doing most of your editing.I really like that you reviewed all the sources and gave your analysis, that's vital for how these pages are formed.I agree with your analysis on distribution of information, I'd also add that the article utulizes quite a bit on UN sources in general (from the UN, WHO and WTO.) I see that you are rewriting part of this section generic brands. There are some very generalized terms in there such as many argue and as argued by various sources

current access - The section describes all of Africa and Latin America is short and speaks more of the impact of the AID's epidemic than access problems and why they exist. While the impact of the AID's epidemic can be exemplary to the level of a regions access to medicine it is not holistic to rely only on that and to not explain it as such. There is also a section on vaccines which is a step in the right direction. At the very least the heading/subheading titles could be altered to be more accurate.

This journal might be helpful as it is on improvements in access to medicine in South Africa. It also goes indepth into the political economic aspect of this situation which may be helpful in other editing and analysis. If you go there for your PE even better. Improving Access to HIV-Related Drugs in South Africa: A Case of Colliding Interests Andy Gray and Jenni Smit Review of African Political Economy Vol. 27, No. 86, Special Issue on AIDS (Dec., 2000), pp. 583-590

Health in Guatemala
Structure and Coverage - You'd like to elaborate on this section on how the public sector is failing. They mention funding already, what did you have in mind in terms of addition? Keep in mind opinions may get more biased here

Living Conditions - What do you want to highlight in order to show the difference between the to groups? Aside from the inequality already mentioned.

Since you said the talk page was all peer reviews from Rice U maybe you should write one! I think they'd find it helpful, just like we're doing. Also it'll help give them inside to improve next time and encourage them since they know someone else looked and analyzed their work.

Here's a few sources to help highlight the inequality between the two groups:

PE Cite
The base is in Texas and you will be doing mini week long trips to Africa and Guatemala? If that is the case you seem a bit heavy on the Guatemala side of research if so. In general I think you could do more analysis on the possible articles you have selected thus far, and find room for improvements. Kaqchikel people This is a very short section. The general facts and demographics are cited. However, it gives a lot of other facts, historical and otherwise, with few sources cited. I am unsure if this is to do with the page as a project, but most of what is written is about the conquering of the people. There was a history before that, how did that change effect them afterwards? More needs to be said on the people themselves than what people around them did. There's is also a separate wiki page for the Kaqchikel langauge that is much more in depth than this page that may be of some use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaqchikel_language#cite_note-3.

Peer Review: Saaleha Bey
Hi Katia, I believe the edits you have planned to make to your chosen area and sector pages are well thought out. Although I by no means have a background or knowledge of Gutemala's geography or health policies, to the best of my abilities I have tried to give you feedback on your edits.

Area: Health in Guatemala

 * Review of your article evaluation:
 * I like that you define what specifically you are intersted in exploring in this article. The comparison of public vs. private and what is motivating the success and failure of either industry is a good place to start begin expanding on what factors you want to explore outside of just poverty, motivators can stem from proximity to health services, knowledge of health care benefits and resources, and even family/community perceptions of health. You even go on to identify a specific factor of living conditions that you can confirm, the question then is can research confirm that. You also acknowledge the neutral language and tone of wiki. The goal is to speak in a unbiased voice. You speak on indigenous health systems and the history of Guatemala's health system pre-government, those are very interesting areas to explore as well. I like how you identify the Wiki projects that the articles are apart of, from that you can also gauge the potential tone of the article, purpose & focus of the article as well.
 * Review your planned edits:
 * Structure and Coverage
 * I like that the edits you make in this area go into further detail of what PEC entails and the services that they actually provide. Additionally you go onto break down what healthcare is actually provided as well as the terms for it - Maya Mobile Clinic. Additionally, the description you added that describes the physical distance of the Guatemalan highlands to the public clinic locations as well as a cultural midpoint between the Maya norms and the Guatemala public health values. I was shocked to see that it was not provided in any other part in the article. As a reader I would like to know more about the actual distance these communities are from the public health centers and if there have been any efforts to get the services to them before the Maya Mobile Clinic. Also if there are any areas the Maya Mobile Clinic does not cover or are unable to cover.
 * Pesticide Poisoning
 * This is definitely an area that is not covered in the article which is surprising since diet plays a large role in health and they have a portion that address diet, however it is named, "Language and Diet" which is somewhat confusing title for a reader. Additionally, I would expect the government to be more involved in pesticide control and creating standards for all farmers and industry.
 * Other page edits to consider:
 * Potentially separating the "Language and Diet" titles and making one "Language" and one "Diet" that way you can expand farther on the area of pesticide and the reader knows you will be addressing diet.
 * Potentially if your research permits explore the demographics of the refugee community in Guatemala versus the Guatemalan highland, and potentially look at patterns in that area.
 * If you have access to the information include the demographics and numbers tied to the individuals who live in the Guatemalan highland.
 * You have yet to expand on he observation you made in your article observation that, "Health in Guatemala" could be seen as the history of health practices before the government reached out with a public healthcare system. I am very intersted to see what was healthcare like then? If your research has at all mentioned any of this information. You could even start small by focusing specifically on the health care history of the Guatemalan highland community versus the whole of Guatemala.
 * Other sources to potentially look into:
 * Early initiation of breastfeeding among Maya mothers in the Western Highlands of Guatemala: practices and beliefs. - Thus article gives insight into the practices and beliefs of women in the western highlands of Guatemala within the area of breast feeding. I thought this article could give insight into post natal care of women in the highlands and how that works within the Guatemalan healthcare system.
 * Facilitating Indigenous women's community participation in healthcare: A critical review from the social capital theory - This article is about the participation of indigenous women in healthcare and how that has been facilitated. It explores the ways it has been facilitated in different communities within Beni, Bolivia. Potentially it can serve as a comparative material to practices within indigenous communities in Guatemala, if you have found any reading on this topic. In your article analysis you mentioned it was an area of interest to you.
 * Patient-centered boundary mechanisms to foster intercultural partnerships in health care: a case study in Guatemala. - This article speaks on the the intercultural partnerships involved in the process of distributing healthcare specifically in Guatemala. Because in your article contributions and comments you mentioned the two communities of indigenous healthcare and the public health care system I thought this would be a good article to to help navigate a healthcare system meant to serve different communities in

Sector: Access to Medicines

 * Review of your article evaluation:
 * The observation of WHO and Canada being the dominated sources and links on the page I believe were spot on considering that as a reader I observed this as well, considering I was a skimming reader. There are pros and cons to having a page that is not heavily commented on, this could be a great advantage for you in that you will be able to be unrestricted in your additions to the article. And the contributions you make could potentially generate conversation on the page. Although as a stub page there is little information that makes it then necessary for you to decide what specific area you are choosing to enhance or "buff up". It is off that Canada is a reference, I wonder if Canada is being referenced as an example of an ideal universal health care system that Guatemala wishes to shape itself after. From first glance there are many areas you can go on to contribute to whether it be getting a broader/more diverse set of information to cite or sectioning Latin America and adding a Guatemala section.
 * Review your planned edits:
 * Generic Brands:
 * I think the contribution you have made here has added a issue that is both specific to Latin America and also contributes to the larger topic generic brands which makes this a great contribution to the Generic brands section. I notice you have Latin America as a section you want to contribute to.You have the option to expand more on the issue you introduced in the generic brand portion within the Latin America tab since it was specific to that area.
 * Current Access:
 * Nothing written to review
 * Latin America:
 * Nothing written to review
 * Other page edits to consider:
 * You have the option to expand more on the issue you introduced in the generic brand portion within the Latin America tab since it was specific to that area.
 * You mentioned that there was an access to medicine index so you can expand on this page by adding a premise within the page somewhere explaining the importance of he "Access to Medicine Index" and how it fits in the larger conversation of "Access to medicines".
 * Other sources to potentially look into:
 * Understanding the mycobiota of maize from the Highlands of Guatemala, and implications for maize quality and safety. - This article speaks on the quality and safety of maize specifically in the communities of Highland Guatemala and Highland Guatemalans were one of the communities you were interested in researching. Additionally, on the wiki page it was mentioned that maize is one of the largest parts of their diet. I though this article would give a bit of insight on the current health status within the highland community.
 * 'Fruit of the accords': Healthcare reform and civil participation in Highland Guatemala - In your article analysis you mentioned wanting to learn more about the differences in the public health care provided by Guatemala and the community efforts in healthcare or healthcare efforts prior to the government healthcare system. I though this article could help support in that research.
 * Healthcare Reform and Poverty in Latin America - This article gives a general overview of healthcare reform and its connections to poverty in Latin America. I though this article could help support you as you explore different contributions you could make to the Latin America section of the Access to Medicines wiki article.
 * Explaining Accessibility and Satisfaction Related to Healthcare: A Mixed-Methods Approach - This article specifically speaks on accessibility and satisfaction related to healthcare as well as the methods used to approach accessibility in healthcare. I thought this would be helpful in doing further research on the section for current access of the Access to Medicines wiki article.
