DUE 6/24 5P.M ESTTOPIC: HIV/AIDS IN LOWER INCOME COMMUNITIES his week, you explore annotated bibliographies, which are part of a larger systematic review of literature. The main purpose of the annotated bibliography is to delve into the current knowledge base surrounding a chosen problem. Reviewing the literature and discovering the current state of the research will help to identify gaps in the knowledge or questions not yet answered about the problem. An annotated bibliography is usually your “first look” at the published literature relating to a problem of interest. Annotated bibliographies help identify the all-important research question that needs to be addressed related to that problem. According to the Walden Library, an annotated bibliography combines “a set of notes, comments, or critiques” with “a list of references that helps a reader identify sources of information” What type of information should be included in these notes, comments, and critiques? The annotations should summarize the key information in the article or resource without merely paraphrasing the content. The intent is to provide a succinct analysis of the “why” behind the study you read in the published material. It should be based on your opinion of why the author(s) believed the study was necessary and chose the particular methods of investigation used. Annotations might also include theories and conclusions postulated by the authors. An effective annotation includes the strengths of an article, but even better, the weaknesses or deficiencies as well. The Assignment: INCLUDE THIS IN PAPERPaper (2pages)Section I Summarize the health problem related to the particular community you identified for your Final Project. Develop a research question related to a problem. Provide a rationale for your selection of this question, along with supporting data.Section IICreate an annotated bibliography of research related to this problem. In your annotated bibliography, include the following: Six to eight resources on the identified public health problem related to the research question. For each source, write a brief summary of the key points of the study. Include the problem, main research question, study type, and an analysis of the major findings. You may also include any information or notes that you believe are relevant and would be useful to you as you revisit your bibliography later. An explanation of the problem areas and gaps in the existing research revealed by the annotated bibliography.The majority of the resources should be primary research. Annotations should describe relevancy and timeliness and should indicate whether the research is primary or secondary.
