Childhood Obesity in the United States

  

This assignment comprises two sections: a preliminary literature reviews and an action item checklist.

Preliminary Literature Review:

1. Contains a minimum of 10      scholarly, peer-reviewed research articles one of which should be      childhood obesity in the United States
2. Each article needs tobe thoroughly      summarized. The summary must describe the relevance of the article, and      how the research findings support the action you are proposing in your      capstone project.
3. Each article summary needs to      include a research design and methods section.
4. The capstone project requires a      comprehensive literature review that includes a minimum of 25 articles; 10      article summaries will be written in HCA-620 and can be applied in      HCA-699.

Action Item Checklist:

The Action Item Checklist should include specific future steps required to complete your capstone project as well as expected completion dates.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a grading rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
