The HLTH 350 Week 7 method, step by step
Read the article twice, differently
Read the article once for what it says and once for how it was done. On the second pass, note the design, sample, measures, analysis and any limitation the authors admit.
Describe before you judge
Give a short, exact summary first. If the description is wrong, every judgment after it is suspect, so check the numbers and terms against the article.
Appraise each part of the study
Work through the study section by section and ask the questions the course uses: is the design suited to the question, is the sample adequate, are the measures valid, do the results support the conclusions?
Name strengths as well as weaknesses
A critique is not a list of faults. Say what the study does well and why, then where it falls short and how much that matters to its usefulness.
Say what it means for practice
Close with usefulness: could the findings change practice, for which patients or settings, and with what caution?
Keep to the length and format
Write in paragraphs, inside 450 to 500 words, with current APA citations. A critique that turns into a table or list usually loses its argument.

Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
The article's finding that older adults living alone are at high risk of social isolation suggests a role for faith communities. Churches could organize weekly check-in calls and transportation to appointments, and partner with the area agency on aging to refer members to meal and home-visit programs.1 Their advantage is existing relationships and volunteers, which the article identifies as the missing link.
