You have been hired by a health practice to help provide sources
of information about issues and trends for diabetic patients. These sources must
be credible but appropriate for patients. Sources for doctors should be from
peer-reviewed journal articles.

 

Your paper should include these parts:

 

  1. An introduction: discuss the importance
    of finding credible sources for patients and doctors for understanding trends
    and issues in health science.

 

  1. Find two articles: one that is
    appropriate for the patients and is credible but not peer-reviewed and
    one for the doctors that was reviewed by peers. For each article, identify the
    type of information you chose (such as peer-reviewed professional journal
    article, web page, news article, or video), and briefly summarize the article
    with in text citations. Finally discuss why the articles you chose are
    appropriate for patients or health professionals.

 

  1. Credibility: how can a patient
    determine a credible source of information? What criteria should be used by
    doctors to ensure what they read is credible? Discuss why peer review is so
    important for doctors in particular and explain how media without peer review
    could affect the information used by this practice.

 

  1. Conclude your paper by discussing the
    importance of peer-reviewed materials versus non-reviewed media in understanding
    trends and issues in health science. What are some of the limitations and
    strengths of each type of resources?

 

  1. Reference page: provide a list of
    references in APA format. References and citations must match.
