INFORMATION LITERACY ASSIGNMENT
Overview It is critical that you are able to ascertain whether nutrition claims that you read/hear in the popular press are backed up by high-quality, peer-reviewed literature. In this assignment, you will find a nutrition claim that interests you and then conduct a literature search to identify 2 peer-reviewed primary research papers (not reviews) describing studies that have been done to assess the validity of the claim. You will also need to determine what type of study design was used (epidemiologic vs. intervention) for each study.
Dr. Betty Galbraith's online lecture thought you all about how to use the WSU library system to find peer-reviewed papers related to your diet and health claim (as well as other topics you might have interests in).
