Online learning and research presents many challenges, just the same as traditional learning. These challenges include finding reliable, current, and legitimate scholarly resources. You may already have favorite online resources and databases that you use or have found useful in the past. As you begin your program of study, you will identify many resources you may rely on for current peer-reviewed information.

For this Assignment, review your Learning Resources, then research and locate one peer-reviewed article in the Walden Library. These may include resources identified in this course through the Walden Library, as well as those not mentioned in this course.

The topic of your article should be an issue that is important to you and related to your health field. It should be different from the topic you chose for your initial posting to the Week 2 Discussion.

The Assignment (2 pages)

• Explain the process of finding your article and how you determined it was peer-reviewed.
• Summarize the article and its findings.
• Explain how this article expands your knowledge of an important issue related to your field of study.
• Expand on your insights utilizing the Learning Resources.
