Assignment task:
The literature review process can be an inexact science and tedious process because of the extensive scope of public health material, studies, and research. To add to this challenge, there are inconsistencies in the search process which demands a systematic approach to reviewing available literature in order to apply evidence-based decision making. Nonetheless, the literature review remains a key process in EBPH.
Going back to Week 3 Project in which you identified five peer-reviewed articles, use the other two articles that you did not use for your assignment. Now, do the following:
- Utilize these two articles to "Analyze, Summarize, and Apply the Literature Review" process.
- Summarize each article ensuring that you focus on the relevance of the article to your public health topic. Each summary must clearly demonstrate the connection or importance of the article being reviewed. For example, one article may be providing background information to your public health problem while another article may be presenting policy approach to your public health problem while yet another article may be reviewing a successful intervention or approach to address your public health problem.
- The two articles are:
- Use, Misuse, and Use Disorders of Prescribed Opioids Among Adults in the United States
- Trends in Substance Abuse Treatment Usage Among People Diagnosed with Opioid Use Disorders in the United States.
