First, you will focus on defining, refining, and critiquing the concept of evidence-based programs and their connection to theory.  Having read and reviewed these resources, prepare a reflection paper on evidence-based programs and practices. Be sure your paper addresses the following: Include a definition of evidence-based programs.  Determine how these programs draw from theory. Identify appropriate questions and their elements used in choosing an evidence-based program. Include an explanation of an evidence continuum that you consider valid when reviewing your topic in health psychology.

Part 2: Critique Evidence-Based Programs

Finally, pick a research paper that you have previously reviewed, and then review the same three elements discussed above: Identify the evidence-based theories being discussed.  Define them. Indicate which questions the researchers proposed that drew them to the theories. Discuss how the topic is reinterpreted from these theories.

Role: Crime Analysts 

  This week, you will research and create an annotated bibliography of five peer-reviewed articles that were published within the last 10 years and relate to the article you selected in Week Two for your Article Review. The peer-reviewed articles you select should be researched in the Ashford University Library and represent a variety of viewpoints on the subject matter. They may support or refute the information presented in your chosen article for review. Each of the peer-reviewed articles must include a complete reference that is correctly formatted in APA style as outlined by the Ashford Writing Center and an annotation of five to six well-developed sentences in your own words that summarize the source and describe its applicability to your selected topic. Please note that no sections from the abstracts of the articles should be included in your annotation. In your annotation for each peer-reviewed article, analyze psychology as a science as it is presented in the article and explain how it relates to this particular topic. Assess the professional roles presented in the article and describe how they relate to the roles as presented in the article you have chosen for review. Explain any psychological theoretical perspectives presented in the article and how they either support or refute the information provided in the review article. Evaluate contemporary applications of psychology as they are described in the article and compare these to the descriptions within the article for review. For more in-depth assistance with your annotated bibliography, please visit the Ashford Writing Center located under the Learning Resources tab in the left-hand navigation panel of your online course. The Annotated Bibliography: Must be two to three double-spaced pages in length and formatted according to APA
