For this assignment, you will locate two research studies related to the topic and PICOT questions that you developed in Week 2. The articles must be current (within the last five years), and one article must be quantitative, and one article must be qualitative. For this assignment all articles must be related to the field of nursing.

PICOT QUESTIONS FOR ASSIGNMENT: 

  • Are children who are obese at increased risk for mental health issues compared with children without weight issues.
  • Are children who are obese at increased risk of Type 2 diabetes compared with children without weight issues.
  • Does parental obesity influence childhood obesity in patients who have low self-esteem over the age of 12?

Article choice is very important, therefore:

  • Articles used for this assignment cannot be used for the other assignments. The selected articles should be original research studies. Review articles, concept analysis, meta-analysis, meta-synthesis, integrative review, and systemic review articles should not be used.
  • Mixed-methods studies should not be used.
