EPIDEMIOLOGY IN PUBLIC HEALTH

Class, there is sometimes confusion about how to complete this assignment. Below are some tips that I hope you find useful.

The Critical Eye Assignment is an assignment called Eye on Research in Epidemiology. This assignment includes an example of how you critique an article. The article by Lane et al. called: Commentary on Analyzing “Promising New drug“, and my critique is provided.

To complete the assignment, read this article by Lane et al. and the example of how I critiqued it.This is an example for you, to help you understand how to complete your critique of the paper “Jogging may be good for your bones“.  Following my example, critique this article using the guiding questions — be sure you have addressed each of them fully. Your critique of this paper is the graded assignment. Please do not critique the Lane et al. article about the drug !
