Based on your review of the two studies, create a checklist to analyze the quality of research studies.

• Your checklist should not have more than 20 items. Avoid repetition.
• Explain how each item on the checklist helps evaluate a study.
• The checklist should be clearly worded. A person using it should not have to ask for an explanation of any item.

By Tuesday, August 15, 2017, submit your checklist to the W5: Assignment 2 Dropbox.
