Student Research
The purpose of this assignment is to promote the student’s ability to critically review a body of literature around an intervention and to make a clinical recommendation. In groups, they locate articles, extract data from those articles into an evidence table, categorize each article's level of evidence and risk of bias, provide an answer to the research question based on the evidence, and assign a strength of evidence (level of confidence). Groups present their systematic review to the class in a poster format. Final papers are disseminated on the Department website for public view (ACOTE B.5.2).
