Week 3Quantitative Article Search and Summary
Assignment
Purpose
Learning to critique and summarize research is an important skill for you to master. The purpose of this assignment is to 1) demonstrate library search techniques and 2) analyze quantitative research related to the Global Burden of Disease and National Practice Problems.
You will review the characteristics of quantitative research within the Explore section this week. Then you will search for a recent (within 5 years) quantitative research article related to one of the eight National Practice Problems. These National Practice Problems include COPD, mental illness, addiction, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity, and safety.
You will critique the quantitative article using the Johns Hopkins Appraisal Tool and then summarize the selected quantitative article.
