Discussion

In part 1 each student is finding and summarizing one peer-reviewed primary research article for your group. (10 pts)

Directions for each individual summary:

  1. Find one peer-reviewed primary (Original Research) article on Topic 6.
  2. Read and evaluate the article chosen.
  3. Write a summary of the article that answers the following questions for the article:
    1. Who were the participants of the study? (i.e. healthy men, postmenopausal women)
    2. What is the intervention and control; or the comparison?
    3. What type of study was done? (i.e. RCT, case-control)
    4. What is the main finding of the peer-reviewed article?
    5. List 2 or more strengths and 2 or more weaknesses of the study design (not the results).
  4. Write this summary in a paragraph format.
  5. Include the full references for the chosen article in AMA format. A guide to AMA is posted on Canvas. Note: This is NOT just the URL! Also, journal articles need to be formatted like journal articles, not the website you found the article.
  6. Post this summary in the thread I started for Part 1.
