Homework: Literature Support
To begin, work through the reference list that was created in the Problem Description Homework in Topic 2. Appraise each resource using the "Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklists" available in the textbook appendix. The specific checklist you use will be determined by the type of evidence within the resource.
Develop a research table to organize and summarize the research studies. Using a summary table allows you to be more concise in your narrative description. Only research studies used to support your intervention are summarized in this table. Refer to the "Evaluation Table Template" available in the textbook appendix or use the "Evaluation Table Template" resource as an adaptable template.
Write a narrative of 750 to 1,000 words (not including the title page and references) that presents the research support for the project's problem and proposed solution. Make sure to include:
A. Description of the search method (i.e., databases, keywords, criteria for inclusion and exclusion, and number of studies that fit your criteria).
B. Summarization of all of the research studies used as evidence. The essential components of each study need to be described so that readers can evaluate its scientific merit, including study strengths and limitations.
C. Description of the validity of the internal and external research.
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
a. The answer must be double spaced, typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
b. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the course title, the student's name, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
c. Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
