By now, you should be aware that the findings from a research study are only part of the story. As a consumer, hoping to inform practice by use of an evidence base, you want to know much more. A sound research study includes all the steps highlighted in previous weeks: reviewing existing literature, focusing a research question, choosing a qualitative or quantitative method for answering the question, designing the study including selection of data collection procedures and/or measures, procedures used, data analysis plan, and findings. In addition, the study commonly discusses how ethical concerns were addressed and acknowledges the limitations of the study.

For this assignment, you review a published research study with two purposes in mind:

1. Observing the structure and content of the article
2. Comparing the content of the article to the recommended content of sections for a research study.

Submit a 7-10 page critique and review of the article, which includes the title page and the reference list. Follow the guidelines below:

• Use the quantitative or qualitative research article that you located and that your instructor approved as part of the Week 5 assignment.
• Provide an APA reference for the article you select.
• If you selected a quantitative research study, use the "Quantitative Article Review and Critique. If you selected a qualitative study, use the "Qualitative Article Review and Critique." Respond to all the questions.
