Section 1: Introduction

Provide an overview of the topic. Give information such as: What is the disease/disorder you are reviewing? What is its prevalence? Who does it affect? What type of dietary or nutrition component are you reviewing? How is it possibly related to the disease/disorder you are reviewing? Is there a possible mechanism that is known for this relationship?
End your introduction with a purpose statement. In this purpose statement, you should identify the dietary/nutrition component of interest, the disease/disorder of interest, and the population you are focusing on. Ex: The purpose of this review is to examine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on cardiovascular disease incidence in adults.

Section 2: Review of Literature
Review/discuss a minimum of 5 original research articles. I do not recommend using meta-analyses for these, as they can be very difficult to summarize succinctly. Also, at least 4 of the 5 should be human research. The remaining 1 of the required 5 can be bench research or animal research if you wish but, again, these can be challenging to review correctly so I do not recommend it.
For each study briefly describe the purpose and design of the study. How many participants were included? Was there anything interesting about their inclusion/exclusion criteria? (Note – you don’t need to list all inclusion/exclusion criteria, but definitely identify the main ones.) Present the major results and conclusions. Identify any limitations of the research.

Section 3: Summary for Healthcare Professionals and Conclusions
This section should be written in paragraph form, summarizing the important points of your Review of Literature.

Section 4: Tabled synopsis of recommendations written in layperson language for use in the community (or clinical) setting and justifications for the recommendations.
This section should contain 3 recommendations and justifications for community education or clinical practice, written in table format.
