It is necessary to annotate three peer reviewed research-based references for this paper. Only Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) are accepted for this assignment, because they provide the strongest evidence and are simplest to compare against one another. You must search for RCTs, and use only those that are original, primary sources. You may NOT use systematic reviews. However, frequently, you can identify a high quality RCT in the references of a systematic review. Referring to a systematic review or meta-analysis for a quote or statistic is acceptable if cited accordingly. References must be within the last 5 years
