Write a summary and concise appraisal of the study. Use the APA format with title page, 3-4 paragraphs for summary and critique (300-400 words), and the complete reference at the end. Utilize Chapter 14 in your Fain, (2017), book as your guide.

• author's conclusions
Remember to cite the authors and year in the first sentence of the first paragraph. The summary should be primarily in your own words, with paraphrased segments, except for the purpose of the study which may be word for word.
Paragraphs 2 - 3: Analyze the work's quality using the Critical Appraisal Guidelines: Qualitative Studies section in Fain, (2017) Chapter 14 with additional guidance starting on page 325 for some sections. Answer at least ONE question under each category below:

Say what is good, but also be critical and find something wrong! Try to be concise and non-repetitive.
