Part 2: Evaluating and Selecting Appropriate Evidence
Locate five sources of evidence that discuss interventions for the public health problem you identified in PH4002. You can find scholarly articles in the Walden Library and find evidence housed within the Community Guide as a starting point for your search. You can also use one scholarly resource from the CDC, NIH, or other reputable health websites.
· Use APA style for your citations.
· For each of your sources, perform a systematic review: summarize the information and describe the interventions and strategies used and the effectiveness of each strategy.
· Comment on the key characteristics of the evidence that would be appropriate for the population identified in your public health problem. Be sure to consider the social determinants of health, the cultural factors that apply, and any other specific observations regarding your population and community.

Part 3: Synthesizing Evidence
|
Based on the information gathered within your sources, write a 2- to 3-page paper that synthesizes your sources using your own words and ideas. You may want to consider using a synthesis matrix or another tool to guide you in your synthesis of the sources. The Walden University Writing Center contains information that could be helpful to you. It can be found at: http://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/evidence/synthesis. Your paper should include the following: · An introduction, including an expanded and developed statement of the health problem in the community. · An explanation of your findings from evaluating and synthesizing your sources, noting the following: o Key similarities and differences in terms of the interventions used in each of your sources, as well as how effective these interventions were in mitigating the problem o Connections between your sources o What worked and what did not o What you learned o Your initial recommendations for the intervention plan you will design in PH4005 · A conclusion offering an overview of your findings
