A narrative (approximately ¾ page per tool) will be provided addressing the scoring of the article based on the tool along with the rationale for the different scores. A final paragraph (approximately ½ page) will be provided discussing the effectiveness of each tool – Which tool was easier to use? Why? What aspects within the tool were “on track” for providing a level of the evidence within the assigned article, (Approximately 2-3 pages).
