For a health outcome or disease that interests you and will be of use to you after you graduate from JMU or graduate school, identify 4 epidemiologic studies to use in a critical appraisal of your thesis statement. All articles should be original (human) research, not reviews or meta-analyses, published in the last 6 years. Use PubMed or CINAHL to identify and locate your articles.
