Hi there, really interested in this topic, specifically interested in understanding why well educated people make the choices to use methamphetamines. Could be interesting to look into why highly educated, intelligent people still fall into that trap. Just food for thought - u3169884
This topic is very interesting! I just thought that this comment may benefit the development of this chapter. A general overview would be a great introduction for this topic, while also the use of subheadings would improve the flow of discussion! -u3190016 --U3190016 (discuss • contribs) 08:08, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

The chapter could benefit from further development of the Overview and Conclusion - it should be possible to only read these sections and get a good sense of why the topic is important and what is known/recommended.
Overview - consider building on the sub-title by presenting focus questions to help guide the reader and the chapter structure.
Overall, this chapter makes insufficient use of research.
There is some useful consideration of short-term positive and long-term negative emotional effects of M use.
When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
Overall, the quality of written expression is fair.
Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective[1].
Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words.
The chapter would benefit from a more developed Overview and Conclusion, with clearer focus question(s) (Overview) and take-home self-help message for each focus question (Conclusion).
Use bullet-points and numbered lists, per Tutorial 1.
No use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive.
No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
No use of images.
No use of tables.
No use of feature boxes.
Basic use of quizzes.
The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end.
