From the Paper:

"Keeping up with current literature and research is very important as both a nursing student and as a graduate nurse in clinical practice. Not only can salient research provide new insights into how a nurse in any area of practice can enhance their patient care; being informed of new options in patient care makes for better nursing. As such, knowing how to judge salient research which provides valid and reliable information from that which does not is critical. This paper provides a detailed critique of the article Effectiveness of the "Baby Think It Over" Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program written by Cheryl S. Somers and Mariane M. Fahlman that was published in the Journal of School Health in May, 2001.
