<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publications that are not peer-reviewed are usually referred to as professional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.
