Peer Review

Great article overall and well written!

- I think that things you did really well include being very concise and to the point. You didn't include any fluff and your article gets to the important information right away.

- I think another strength of your article is your formatting, it keeps everything organized and the flow is really good.

- I think that some things that you could change would be expanding the Efficacy section with some more references. I think that you mentioned that there wasn't much research in this area but if could you find 1-2 more articles I think that it would make the section much more robust.

- I also think that you could consider actually including the questions in SLUMS in a section since it is free use and very short

Some minor edits:

- You use the abbreviation SLUMS without putting (SLUMS) somewhere, add (SLUMS) after Saint Louis University Mental Status Exam in your first sentence UsamahCh (talk) 14:26, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a visual?

Have been considering adding an image of the SLUMS exam, but unable to find one which clearly states it can be used freely or is in public domain.
