Article 1:<\/p>\n
Part one: Describe the criteria you used to select these papers (e.g., only English language, peer reviewed articles, only a specific age group, only US studies, etc).<\/p>\n
Part two: Identify the articles according to type of risk factors studied (e.g., environmental, socio-economic, behavioral).<\/p>\n
Part Three: Read each study using the Template for Assessment of Causation for Reviewing Epidemiological Studies.<\/p>\n
