Capella 4000 Assessment 2 Applying Research Skills NHS-FPX 4000 Developing a Health Care Perspective Applying Research Skills

The inclusion of recent peer-reviewed articles in this analysis is crucial for their explicit explanations of limited healthcare access, identifying barriers, and proposing effective strategies. These articles were sourced from reputable databases such as Capella University’s Library, BioMed Central, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and ScienceDirect. Utilizing relevant keywords facilitated the research process.

Assessing Credibility and Relevance of Resources

The CRAAP test, assessing Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose, is employed to determine the credibility of resources (Lewis, 2018). Articles included in the annotated bibliography meet these criteria, with emphasis on relevance. Articles were selected based on their publication within the last five years, authorship by healthcare professionals, and alignment with the topic of limited healthcare access.
