For this assignment, you should choose a particular setting and context that you wish to focus on. Please ensure that you consider your setting and context when answering the assignment questions, for example by making use of locally relevant health information (Refer to the Assignment Brief for more guidelines).

Word Count: The upper word limit for this assignment is 3000 maximum word limit (penalties apply at 10% over the maximum). 

Referencing: There should be more than 30 sources. The use of referencing will be assessed by the examiners. In this programme, the preferred referencing style is Harvard and should be consistently laid out in Harvard format and include the references at the end of the essay. You must correctly reference your work. Poor approaches to referencing can suggest academic malpractice. 

You must CRITICALLY APPRAISE your evidence using the CASP TOOL CHECKLIST and support it with citations. Please use the CASP TOOL CHECKLISTS – https://casp-uk.net/casp-tools-checklists/ to help you critically appraise the evidence and data you draw upon (See Critical Appraisal And Marking Rubric File).

You need to apply your critical thinking skills by going beyond just describing what the authors did and focusing on interpreting and evaluating what they did within the study context.
