The work is to be 1 page with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Critique Two Articles [Teacher 27th March Article This article is about effects of promoting health among teens on dietary, physical activity, and substance use knowledge and behaviors for African American adolescents. This article was published in 2013 in American Journal of Health Education. Although, the writers came up with solid proofs on the topic but there are some points that must be revisited. Firstly, it does not describe in detail the effects of promoting health among teens on dietary, physical activity, and substance use knowledge and behavior in African American adolescents. Sample size selected for this study is low and authors did not provide details about the subjects. This research has been conducted in Eastern cities of the US and hence it is limited to the people of that area. The results in Western cities of the US may turn out to be different than that of results of Easter cities of the US.

The article does not provide detailed information about the risk factors to adults and adverse effects of counseling on adults of age 18 and older. The USPSTF recommendations about referring adults with obesity for behavioral counseling are not supported by solid proofs.
