Directions:

As you search the library for scholarly research, limit your search to identify empirical articles.

You can use the “Empirical Research Checklist” to help with this determination.

Upon finding an empirical study, assess the validity of the conclusion by determining if the conclusion answers your proposed research question and if the methodology is appropriate.

Using the “Empirical Research Checklist” and your knowledge of finding empirical research articles, locate six articles directly related to your proposed PICOT question. You may use the three you used for the assignment in Topic 4.

Write an annotation for each of the six articles that includes a concise summary in your own words and the correct APA citation for each article.
