Feedback for Initial Contributions[edit]
The article does a great job in making the concept understandable and readable for broad audience, especially for those who may be unaware of the topic. The structure is also quite strong in providing a summary of the various types of harm reduction as well as the legality of these methods. The author is also clearly committed to maintaining a neutral standpoint as evidenced by the inclusion of a “Controversy” section.
I would like to see a section expanding on the alternative models – moral model and disease model – and how they compare to harm reduction. The lead section was a great introduction to this idea, but as a reader, it would be effective to understand how this method compares to the other models in terms of strengths and weaknesses and effectiveness.
The biggest change is working on incorporating images to the article. Other than that, all the other key areas – content, readability, neutrality – are well done. Psg2022 (talk) 22:55, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
