Treatment of Depression

• Dear writer, please write total 6 pages (3-4 pages paper and Johns Hopkins summary tool) addressing following questions. Instructions are attached. Also attaching the John Hopkins Research Evidence Appraisal tool and individual evidence summary tools. Please use scholarly resources within 5 years.

Purpose- The purpose of this assignment is to develop a synthesis of evidence using five research articles to support an evidence-based intervention.
The development of the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool builds a body of research evidence about a practice problem and evidence-based intervention for implementation in a practice change project. Continually adding research studies to the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool builds the foundation for the synthesis of research for a practice change project. As you incorporate published research study findings into your own writing, you create a synthesis of the research information. A synthesis requires critical reading and thinking to compare different material, highlighting similarities, differences, and connections. Please note that this week 4 assignment is the is the first part of the Week 6 assignment. You will receive feedback from your course faculty on this assignment and will be required to use the feedback to revise this paper and add as a section of the Week 6 assignment.

Instructions Follow these guidelines when completing each component of this assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.

1. Download the following tools linked below (located in the Student Resource Center under Project & Practicum Resources).
   a. Link (Word doc): Johns Hopkins Research Evidence Appraisal ToolLinks to an external site.
   b. Link (Word doc): Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary ToolLinks to an external site.
2. Use five (5) level I, II, or III peer-reviewed primary research studies and/or systematic reviews that focus on the evidence-based intervention for the selected practice problem. Four research articles that focus on the evidence-based intervention included in this synthesis may be from previous courses. One peer-reviewed research article that focuses on the evidence-based intervention must be new to this synthesis and not used in previous courses. All articles should be current, published within the past 5 years. Enter the articles for the synthesis into the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool. For new articles for this synthesis, Highlight the author’s name in the Johns Hopkins individual Evidence Summary Table.
