Create a pamphlet that communicates the information from the analysis submitted as Assessment 1. Your pamphlet should be appropriate to your audience and informs them of the impacts lifestyle choices have on the risk of cancer.
In this assessment, you will further develop your problem-solving skills as you explore how scientists are using discoveries about the human genome to treat and prevent diseases.
In Assessment 1, you analyzed a data set and then used the scientific method to determine if the data supports your hypothesis on whether lifestyle choices can reduce the risk of cancer. In this assessment, you will demonstrate results-driven skills by translating the study you analyzed in Assessment 1 into a pamphlet that will educate a targeted audience so they can make informed decisions for themselves.
You work as a research assistant at a primary care center, where your role is to ask patients their lifestyle choices (that is, smoking, exercise, environmental exposures, et cetera). Based on this information, create a pamphlet to inform patients the risks of their choices so that the patients can make informed decisions for themselves.
Create a pamphlet that is appropriate for your targeted audience. You may use tools such as Word, PowerPoint, or Publisher to create your pamphlet. If you feel stuck, you can do a Google search to see examples of pamphlet layouts.
INSTRUCTIONS
omplete the following:
Step 1: Interpret the benefits and risks to the consumer using evidence from the course resources or your own study. Provide opinions and examples to support your interpretation and message to the targeted readers.
Step 2: Create a pamphlet appropriate for targeted readers. Use the information from Assessment 1 to fully describe the impacts of lifestyle choices on the risk of cancer. Make sure you include resources for targeted readers who might want to do more reading on the information found in your pamphlet.
When you are satisfied with your pamphlet, submit it to this assessment.

Conducting the Evidence Search
The purpose of this discussion is to teach students to use electronic databases and methodological filters to select the most relevant evidence to answer the clinical questions. A secondary purpose of this assignment is to teach students to format citations according to the American Psychological Association Style Handbook (7th Edition).
Instructions:
For this discussion, you will use the PICO question you generated for the previous discussion (Use the PICO worksheet attached to this discussion).
Select the most appropriate databases using information from the MDC Library databases.  Explain in a short paragraph why you selected each one.
Find synonyms for Population, Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome. Fill out the list with synonyms. 
Using the advanced search feature, conduct separate searches for each of the above PICO, using “OR” with synonyms. Check for the number of hits for each search and revise as necessary.
Using the search history feature, combine PICO searches, using “And.”
Make note of the number of hits. 
Revise the searches combined, if necessary.
Use methodological filter terms, first for systematic reviews, randomized control trials, cohort studies, etc. Note the number of studies found after applying the exclusion and inclusion criteria).
Limit your searches to five (5) years.
Write a paragraph describing the process ( this is the method section of the literature review). 
Title the discussion with the PICOT question.
Initial post: Your post should be within a range of 200-300 words.
Cite your references APA 7th  ed. (not included in the length of the post). 
To see rubric, click on the 3-dot menu  on the top-right side of screen. 
Note: Regarding instruction 1 the PICOT question used in the previous assigment is the following: In the elderly population with chronic health conditions living in nursing homes, does taking the patient to the bathroom promptly compared to leaving the patient void in the diapers reduce the development of UTI during every shift? 
Note: PICO worksheet attached
