Rapid Appraisal

This step requires the selection of a minimum of 15 peer-reviewed articles that have been published within 5 years.

Perform a rapid appraisal of each article selected by addressing the following (one to two sentences per item are sufficient):

1. How does the article describe the nature of the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need you have identified?

2. Does the article provide statistical information to demonstrate the significance of the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need?

3. Does the article provide example(s) that apply, such as: morbidity, mortality, rate of incidence or rate of occurrence in the general population?

4. Does the article support your proposed change? How so?
