Week 7 Project
Analyzing and Synthesizing the Body of Evidence
In this assignment, you will take a critical look at the Evaluation Table and develop a Synthesis Table, which is the next step in finding the best evidence for your project due in Week 9. From the Evaluation Table, which represents the body of evidence for your topic, you will review the information and synthesize it into one or more tables paring down the body of evidence to the studies that are most appropriate for answering your PICOT question. The Synthesis Table Template has been provided that includes several different types of tables. Choose the tables that are most pertinent to this project. Review the PICOT question you wrote in Submissions Area and the Evaluation Table you started in Submissions Area with the quantitative evidence and complete it by adding the qualitative evidence in Week 5 (ATTACHED). Then:
- Analyze the contents of the table. Which variables (column headings) are the most important to answering the PICOT question? Why?
- Create the appropriate Synthesis Table (or tables) and turn it in for this assignment along with a 1- to 2-page paper providing:
- A reason for including these variables in the Synthesis Table
- A rationale that explains how these variables are most appropriate for answering your PICOT question
