Week 3 Assignment  

Quantitative Article Search and Summary

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.

Instructions

Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.

Review the characteristics of quantitative research within the Explore section of this week's module and readings.

Conduct a library search and select one recent (within 5 years) quantitative research article related to one of the National Practice Problems.

Week 5 Assignment  

Evidence Synthesis

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to present a synthesis of evidence using the three articles you selected in Weeks 3, 4, and 5. The development of the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool builds a body of evidence about a practice problem. Adding research studies to the Johns Hopkins Summary Tool builds the foundation for the synthesis of evidence for a practice change.

Please note that this is the first part of a 2-part paper. You will receive feedback from your course faculty on this assignment. You will be required to use the feedback to revise this paper. In Week 7, you will add to this paper and submit as the Week 7 Assignment.

Instructions

Follow these guidelines when completing the assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have any questions.

Review the directions and complete the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool. Use the 3 articles: 2 quantitative and 1 qualitative selected in Weeks 3, 4, and 5. These must be recent research articles less than 5 years old and be related to a National Practice Problem.
