Post Discussion: Chronic Illnesses

/in /by

Choose one of the “Chronic Illnesses” discussed in Chapter 4 and locate a peer-reviewed study/report published in 2010-2015. In your discussion post, write an annotated bibliography and cite (APA) the publication. Some of the articles you will find use many technical terms. Your post should include a summary of the article and not details that are difficult to understand. If it is necessary to use an acronym or scientific term, please define it in your post. You should be able to find an article that is written in general terms on your topic if you conduct a specific search. For example, instead of searching for “Cancer” which will result in highly technical genetic research you could search “Pancreatic Cancer Nutrition” or “Breast Cancer Exercise.”

 

Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research. Use APA style to cite your sources.
