The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise generic concepts and provide internal wiki links to further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations.

Hey! Really interesting subject and very well written, I found it very interesting how there is no broadly effective treatment just areas and not much in depth research on the effectiveness on some treatments. Do you know if there has been much research done in Australia in regards to intervention treatment methods? Might be an interesting aspect thing to add in there! Good luck with the rest of your chapter :) Dakka2005 (discuss • contribs) 04:42, 17 October 2020 (UTC)Dakka2005Reply

Overall, this is a very good chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
For additional feedback, see following comments and these copyedits.
Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
What is the prevalence of MA use? MUD?
What are the recovery/rehabilitation rates?
When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicating the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
Overall, the quality of written expression is very good.
"People" is usually a better term than "individuals". Also, consider something like "people experiencing MA dependence" rather than "MA-dependent individuals" - there is a subtle, but important difference.
Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
Section 6.1, 6.2, and 7 headings could be abbreviated
Learning features
Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
Excellent/Very good/Good/Basic/No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
Some Wikipedia links have been added an external links - instead use interwiki links.
Excellent use of image(s), with detailed captions.
Excellent use of table(s).
Excellent use of feature box(es).
Excellent case studies. But what happened to Scarlett - could she recover? How?

The presentation is easy to follow and interesting to watch and listen to.
The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio.
Well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images.
