Annotated Bibliography Prep
Next week you will complete a literature review of peer-reviewed articles about the community health issue you have identified for your Course Capstone Project. To prepare for next week’s assignment, begin creating an annotated bibliography of at least 7 peer-reviewed articles. Include articles providing background about the problem (3-4 articles), as well as studies evaluating interventions to address the community health issue you have chosen (3-4 articles).

Literature Review Task
For your background research, reflect on these questions in your annotations:
- What is the extent of the problem?
- Overall, how are various determinants of health related to this community health issue (gender, race/ethnicity, geographic area, economic status, etc.)? What inequities exist? Cite common indices of health (see Table 1-1 on p. 8 of the textbook).
- What are known risk and protective factors related to this community health issue?
For articles evaluating interventions, describe:
- Who is the target population and in what setting?
- What is the intervention?
- What theories or models are used to support the intervention choice?
- Does the theory or model seem like a valid choice? Why?
- Was the intervention effective? Why?
