The CRAAP Test

http://www.drugabuse.gov/infofacts/steroids.html

The article appears to be credible and valid. The information is posted by the National Institute of Drug Abuse and includes information from scientific journals, medical journals, and studies from the National Institutes of Health. The article is well-edited and written, clearly showing that it has been published by professionals.

Because this is a government website it is used to inform and educate viewers with facts, rather than opinions. The article is recent (published in 2008) and has been revised (7/2009), which shows new facts and statistics. The information presented is relevant to my topic and can be used in my research paper. The article clearly passes the CRAAP test.

  1. After I viewed the website you chose and read the article, I agree with your opinion and review. It is clearly more reliable than other possible sites since first it is a government website. It is also a website created under the supervision (I think) of the National Institute of Health which is well-known for published papers dealing with researched knowledge and facts. It provided a good outline of the subject of your paper- steroids and it even provided other links and references it used to create the article. It had good citations to refer to.

    Good choice and it indeed passed the CRAAP test in my opinion.
