Public Health Topic

The objective for this assignment is to complete a systematic review of the literature in a content area of your choice, concluding with clear and succinct objectives for a new health promotion intervention based on your assessment of the evidence you consider. Choose an area of research that is of interest to you and of arguable public health significance, as this will be the basis for the grant proposal that you will develop over the course of the semester (see Assignment 2). 
Your review should include the following elements: 
1. Your search strategy (10%) 
2. Your reasons for including/excluding papers for your review and the pertinence and quality of the papers you do include (20%) 
3. The evidence on your topic (30%) 
4. Your conclusions from the evidence (15%) 
5. Your study objectives arising from the evidence (15%) 
Use the allocated marks (given as a percentage) as a guide to the length of each element of the review. The overall logic and clarity of your review will also be assessed (10%).
