a summary of each article that answers the following questions: what did the researchers hope to find or
change (e.g., knowledge, behavior), what did they do (e.g., put people in two groups and one got
exercise advice in person and the other got an exercise pamphlet), and what happened (i.e., the results).
The summary should also include information about the participants, e.g., age, and race.
An evaluation that critically assesses the intervention to decide if the strategies from this study will be
useful for your program. For your annotation, you want to consider how these findings or strategies
could inform your proposed program – without using personal pronouns, of course.
