Description
Evidence is important in understanding and making decisions regarding public health. Empirical articles serve as credible sources of support because they provide or describe evidence based on research. Empirical articles describe original research or the results of a study.Begin by researching major causes and trends in morbidity and mortality in the United States. Once you have completed your research, identify one health issue related to morbidity and mortality. Locate three empirical articles from the GALE Library related to primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention, one for each level of prevention, including health promotion and screening related to the health issue you have identified in your research. Utilize the Levels of Prevention Matrix” in order to evaluate your chosen articles.Your selected articles must have been published within the last 5 years, and the information discussed in your matrix must be paraphrased/summarized.While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center
