Instructions:  Using the discussion and decisions your group has made during the Module 4 discussion board, write and submit a draft of the following portions of your final paper.  I suggest that you spread out the work among your team members or rotate the responsibility for each week. 

A weekly drafts example is attached.  Module 4 DB/Module 5 Draft sample paragraphs are highlighted in yellow; Module 5 DB/Module 6 Draft sample paragraphs are highlighted in green; and Module 6 DB sample paragraphs are highlighted in blue (you will not submit a draft for the Module 6 DB work).  Of course, the synopsis portion will be specific to your article, and the appraisal portion should include application of all concepts relevant to your article.

 

Synopsis:   Write a study synopsis that includes these main points.

· what known and not known about the topic and what gap in knowledge this study intends to fill

· research design and setting

· sample

· sampling method

· number of subjects

· inclusion/exclusion criteria

· attrition, loss to follow up, or response rate (if any)

· important characteristics of the sample

Appraisal:  Appraise the article in narrative format by answering the following questions.

· What are the strengths and weaknesses of the sampling method, as applied to this study?  Give a rationale for your claims.

· Be sure to consider the inclusion/exclusion criteria, if any, and extraneous variables that the criteria control for.
