<strong>PSY</strong> <strong>425</strong> Week 5 Individual Article Review<br />
Peer-reviewed articles appears in an academic journal or periodical in which<br />
scholarship relating to a particular discipline is published. Scholars within the field<br />
have reviewed these articles prior to publication, thus the name, Peer-Reviewed.<br />
Academic journals serve as forums for the introduction and presentation for<br />
scrutiny of new research, and the critique of existing research. Content typically<br />
takes the form of articles presenting original research, as well as comments or<br />
reviews of previous articles/research, and book reviews. Academic or professional<br />
publications that are not peer-reviewed are usually referred to as professional<br />
magazines.<br />
Peer-reviewed journals and articles can be located through the University library<br />
and Google Scholar. When trying to determine if your reference is an article,<br />
remember that all journal articles will have an author and a publication date. If you<br />
are unable to locate an author or publication date, then chances are very good that<br />
you are looking at a website that is being maintained by a certain individual or<br />
organization and not a peer-reviewed article.<br />
Research 3 – 5 peer-reviewed journal articles related to how drug abuse affects<br />
families when one or more adult members are addicted to illicit and/or prescription<br />
drugs, and the various treatment options available to addicted families.<br />
Write an 1,200 – 1,500 word review of the articles. Include the following:<br />
Analyze the issues related to the effects of adult drug abuse on families. You may<br />
include the effects on children, but do not research child or adolescent substance<br />
abuse, nor use child or adolescent substance abuse as the topic of your paper.<br />
Describe the ramifications experienced by the family members who are not<br />
abusing drugs.<br />
Discuss resources and treatments available to addicted families.
