3. Find 20 sources related to your problem statement. Five of the sources must include data.

 

4. Create an annotated bibliography. Requirements include:

· Proper APA reference.

· Summary of each source in your own words.

· Your annotations will be evaluated on the following:

· A proper APA citation.

· A brief summary of the source in your own words. The summary should include at minimum:

· A sentence regarding the methodology used in the study.

· A sentence regarding the conclusions found.

· One or two sentences of what you perceive to be the strengths and weaknesses of the source.

· A sentence regarding why the source is relevant to the problem in your thesis.

· Information about the author's background.

The Data sources will be evaluated on this additional information:

· A sentence regarding the methodology used for data studies. If you are using raw data, explain how the data was collected.

· Describe the type of data. Is it quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods? Prof. W./G. are looking for quantitative data.

· If it is a study, describe the type of research (observational, experimental, interview, etc

· Describe the type of study (observational vs. experimental, longitudinal vs. cross-sectional, etc.).

· Is this a descriptive study or a study involving hypothesis testing in which statistical tests were used?

· What are the key variables that were measured or tested? (disease prevalence, score of the experimental test, total cost, etc.)

· A sentence regarding how this data is relevant to your health policy analysis thesis.

· A sentence on where you will use this data source in your thesis (background, landscape, options, recommendation, conclusion).

 

 

The table below may help you organize your thoughts.

 

Citation	Purpose	Type, Method & Data Source (Sample)	Variables collected or tested	Theory, Framework, Statistics Used	Results	Limitations	Relationship to Topic
Write down key citation information now, so you have it for later.	What is the author’s purpose in writing this work?	Is this a descriptive study or hypothesis-testing study? How was this research conducted? How did they collect data?		What approach does the author use to understand, explain, or make predictions about the subject matter?	What are the findings of the study?	What are flaws or limitations of the study?
