The interpretation of research in health care is essential to decision making. By understanding research,
health care providers can identify risk factors, trends, outcomes for treatment, health care costs and best
practices. To be effective in evaluating and interpreting research, the reader must first understand how to
interpret the findings. You will practice article analysis in Topics 2, 3, and 5.
For this assignment:
