Please use these 2 articles for the Critique of two papers. Articles are attached.
Assignment:
What findings were generated? How do these findings extend what is known in the area? How do the findings relate to your own research? Is there a link that each study has with the other? If similar outcomes were measured then write about those together. In other words, begin a synthesis. The page limit is 7 pages of text (succinct and clear is the goal, not a particular number of pages). Please use APA format. Remember, this is not an annotated bibliography, do not write a summary of each study. It is a single paper that needs to unify ideas.
Here is a possible outline:
Introduction: What is the problem your are looking at?
Background and significance: Why does it matter?
Purpose: What is the specific clinical question you are trying to find information for? or the purpose of this synthesis?
Methods: How you found these two studies (your search strategy)
Findings: Synthesis of the findings, how do the findings support your clinical problem?
Preliminary Summary or Conclusion
