For this assignment, you will prepare a 4-page review of the literature pertinent to a selected problem for healthcare research and to use that review to propose a methodology to address the problem.
Conduct a search of literature relevant to the problem/topic. Identify a minimum of 4 references, most of which are peer-reviewed articles. Only one opinion articles may be included.
Read the peer-reviewed articles with the focus of preparing a document that will compare and contrast the information in the articles you found. Copies of the articles used must be submitted with the final paper.
The reader of your literature review should be able to clearly identify the gaps in the knowledge in the problem area as well as the purpose of the study you are proposing. The number of pages in this assignment should be no longer than 4 pages. You should be able to write enough to create an effective argument but not so much that the result looks padded.
