Suggestion for case study
Hi Jasna,

Great job on your chapter so far! I just had a quick comment about your case study. You mention Casey's doctor measuring her BMI (body mass index), but then later refer to brief motivational interviewing as BMI. I think using the same acronym for two different concepts is confusing for the reader, particularly because when most people think of BMI they will think of body mass index, as that is how it's more commonly used.

It might be a good idea to either 1) make a quick comment stating that brief motivation interviewing is a different BMI than body mass index, or 2) only describe write about Casey's body mass index without using the BMI acronym.

Also, you already do a similar thing with the table, but it could be an idea to refer back to the Casey case study later in your chapter, outlining how the conversation with her doctor could have gone if the doctor had utilised brief motivation interviewing in the conversation with Casey.

Good luck with the rest of your chapter! Hopefully this is helpful :) U3213084 (discuss • contribs) 04:50, 5 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the suggestions regarding the use of BMI acronym, I'll definitely fix that. The case study conversation between Carly and doctor, with doctor applying BMI, is evolving.
 * I really appreciate your comment.

Read the chapter and edited some references and figure
Hi Jasna, I read through your chapter, great work!

You have a strong introduction, that demonstrates the problem.

I noticed some inconsistencies in you Figures set-up, James mentioned so long as they are consistent then that is fine. I switched them both to Italics.

There were some inconsistencies with your intext referencing you sometimes miss the comma, it should look like this (Nath et al., 2008) or Nath et al. (2008) have said that …

I believe I got them all.

Added an ed dash between the pages in your reference list. En dash –. only some were missing it.

Edit for In-Text References
Hi @JasnaM - congratulations on your book chapter - it is very clear and flows well :)

I made a few changes to some of your in-text references - for APA 7 where there are 3 or more authors, the format is FirstAuthor, et al.

PS - I love the AI generated images of Carly - they are terrific!

All the best, Cheers, Jorja -- JorjaFive (discuss • contribs) 15:22, 8 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @JorjaFive
 * Thank you for your kind words and help with APA referencing. I usually use EndNote which does a really good job with it and I really missed it for this assignment.
 * Cheers

Edits
Hi, thank you for this interactive and informative book chapter. I think your use of case studies, images, tables, figures, and quizzes made the chapter flow while maintaining the interest of the readers. I have made some minor changes to the errors in your reference list, hope you don't mind!
