Question Description

articles that are published on mainstream news outlet websites (i.e., Huffington Post, Toronto Star, CBC,
CNN etc.), on a magazine website (i.e., Mens Health, Self, Prevention etc.) or other health websites (i.e.,
BodyBuilding.com). Avoid the less main-stream, scientific websites like Sciencedaily.com or institution
websites (i.e., Harvard Nutrition), as these may be more challenging to critique. You can use a hardcopy
print version, but you will need to scan or take a photo of the news piece, and the text must be legible.

development.

controlled trials, observational studies (cross-sectional, longitudinal, retrospective), in vitro studies
and animal experimental studies, meta-analyses or systematic reviews. Usually, the study is linked to
in the body of the news piece, referenced in the news piece or is referenced at the end of the article. If
you are unable to locate the scientific study that the news piece is based on, seek out another news
piece.
