Writer’s Choice

1. Choose a health topic that interests you. Narrowing your research to a specific health topic, dates, and population will help focus your search. Only use articles that have been written within the last 5-10 years. Total paper must be at least 10 pages but can be more to ensure complete and detailed review of each article, cover page (1), intro, body, summary (8), reference page (1).

2. Research and find at least 4 peer reviewed journal articles that address your chosen health topic. Peer Reviewed JOURNAL articles do not include web sites. Articles must be from a Journal. Some Journals are available online and most can be accessed through the Library online. Be sure you understand the difference. If you have questions, ASK.

3. Write a comprehensive literature review of the articles using APA format. Resources are provided on the class Moodle site and more help can be found at Dupre’ Library or online on how to write in APA format and the required format for a research paper.

NOTE: A research question is not required for this assignment. Only a review of the literature on your chosen topic. Literature reviews are usually done in conjunction with research so many of the sources will state that a research question is needed.
