This article review should provide a foundation to answer the research question(s), but it is not meant to be an exhaustive review of all relevant literature if you choose to pursue this topic later in your program, you will be able to use this information as a base to continue your secondary research. A review of 2-4 articles is appropriate for this section. (approx. 3 pages)
