Bibliography (which will inform your literature review later in the course).Review the
online articles listed in the Learning Resources and pay special attention to the articles in
the Walden Writing Center for tips and extended explanations on how to organize a
reference list.Investigate literature from a variety of sources, such as the Walden Library,

considering for your Mini Literature Review.Each reference (APA formatted) should be
followed by two paragraphs; a summary of the article and the rationale for using this

Template for the requirements). The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of
the quality, accuracy, and relevance of the resource to the topic.The resources for your
Annotated Bibliography need to address your health or healthcare topic and the Program
Learning Outcomes. For example, you could search for “HIV” (a possible topic) AND
“program planning” (a Program Learning Outcome) to find articles on both.You should have
at least one resource for each Program Learning Outcome. This will provide you with
information and support for each Program Learning Outcome and each aspect of the
Capstone Final Project requirements. All resources must be in proper APA format. Refer to
the Essential Guide to APA Style, as well as the Walden Writing Center for guidance on what
a quality annotated bibliography looks like. Once you receive feedback from your Instructor,

account.Submit your Bibliography by Day 4 of Week 3. Capstone Project: Assignment #3—
