Critically Analyzing Literature
To familiarize yourself with your assigned project topic, it is key that you analyze the information that is out there. The first step is to do a literature review. Not only will this provide you with information to start your project, but it will serve as a reference source any time when you’re designing surveys, writing IRB’s, manuscripts, presentations, etc. The following table will serve as a guide for you to conduct your literature review. Please source 5-8 scientific, peer-reviewed pieces of literature regarding your topic. Sites such as Scopus, Pub-Med, Google Scholar, NCBI, etc. are all valuable tools you can use. An example has been outlined:
please scope out 5-8 peer reviewed, scientific articles on the following topics:
--Disparities in health care / health utilization in the US
--Disparities in cancer treatment outcome among minority populations
--Disparities in men's health, why men have poorer health in the US compared to women
--Clinical trial diversity and its importance

Are patients with Type O or Rh-blood types at a lower risk of developing the SARS-CoV-2 infection, also known as COVID-19? |
The study was completed in Ontario, Canada and included a total of 225556 people with a mean age of 53. 36% had blood type A, 4.5% had blood type B, and 44% had blood type O. 13% had Rh blood. |
It was found that hose with type O had the lowest probability of developing COVID-19, while those with Type B had the highest probability. A similar trend was observed for those with Rh blood. |
