The portfolio assignment consists of three parts. The assignment will culminate in a patient education video centered around a public health topic. Part one is a critical literature appraisal to summarize and synthesize findings related to a topic of interest from the list provided. Part two is a video script to prepare for the patient education video. The final part is a video based on the completed script and literature review. Consider the audience or target demographic, including their level of health literacy, for the topic when completing the literature review and video script.

|---|---|---|
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeTopic & Research Quality | 20 to >17.0 ptsProficientSelects an approved topic and utilizes 3 or more highly credible, evidence-based sources. Sources are highly relevant to the final patient education topic.17 to >16.0 ptsAcceptableSelects an approved topic and utilizes 3 sources. Sources are evidence-based but may include one source with less rigor (e.g., expert opinion without strong supporting data). 16 to >0 ptsUnacceptableUses fewer than 3 sources or includes sources that are not credible, not evidence-based, or are weakly related to the chosen public health topic. | 20 pts |
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeCritical Appraisal | 20 to >17.0 ptsProficientFully and accurately completes the template for all sources. Accurately identifies the study design and provides a thorough, insightful critique of the source's validity, reliability, applicability, and limitations based on the provided reading materials.17 to >16.0 ptsAcceptableMostly completes the template for all sources. The critique identifies the study design but the evaluation of validity, reliability, and applicability is generally descriptive rather than critically analytical. 16 to >0 ptsUnacceptableTemplate is substantially incomplete or missing key fields. Study design is incorrectly identified, and the critical evaluation is superficial or absent. | 20 pts |
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeSynthesis and Evaluation | 20 to >17.0 ptsProficientProvides a clear, comprehensive synthesis of the findings across all sources. Thoroughly compares and contrasts the information, identifying consistent themes, conflicting evidence, strengths, limitations, and gaps in the current body of evidence.17 to >16.0 ptsAcceptableSummarizes the findings of each source and adequately compares and contrasts the main points, but lacks depth in synthesis of the information. 16 to >0 ptsUnacceptablePresents individual source summaries with little to no overall comparison, contrast, or evaluation. The summary of the overall topic is superficial. | 20 pts |
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeFormat, Writing, and APA Style | 5 to >4.0 ptsProficientDocument is professionally formatted, highly organized, and clearly written. Includes zero or minimal errors in APA formatting (citations and reference page), grammar, spelling, and mechanics.4 to >3.0 ptsAcceptableDocument is adequately organized and readable. Includes correct APA references and citations but may contain minor inconsistencies or a few grammar errors. 3 to >0 ptsUnacceptableDocument is poorly organized and difficult to follow. Contains significant errors in APA style or multiple grammar errors. | 5 pts |
