Write an
Integrative Review using the studies from your literature
search. The Evaluation and Synthesis Tables created during the
course will help with the process. Submit the Rapid Critical Appraisal
Worksheets, Evaluation Table, and Synthesis Table as an Appendix to the
paper. The text of the paper (excluding abstract, references and
appendix) should be no more than 8-10 pages in length. Please note this
is a scholarly paper and professional writing is expected. The paper should be
clear, concise, grammatically correct, and following APA format.
Integrative Review Rubric: use these as a
headings on each section of the paper.
