Assignment Objectives:

Identify important components of a research study.
Evaluate a research article for relevance to the problem statement.
Demonstrate professionalism and accountability through timely completion and submission of the assignment.
As healthcare managers, we need to be able to critically analyze the critical components of information included in a research article. This is important when considering the application of the findings to initiate a change in practice based on the evidence. With this in mind, assignment 2.2 will help you to quickly locate the important components of a research study.
The Article Critique assignment is the ONLY assignment where it is acceptable to copy and paste content directly from the article. The purpose of this assignment is to help quickly and efficiently identify the main parts of a research study in order for you to determine if the article is something you want to use to support or substantiate your own papers.
