intervention; exposure to food advertising

Note: Collect four-five published research articles that present original research specifically relevant to your research question. Each article must describe primary
research approach(s), data collection and analysis, and findings.
Supported by additional scholarly studies relevant to question
A literature review structure: you have to follow this format:-
1. Title
Your enquiry question is your title. Make it clear and unambiguous.
2. Introduction + Background
Elaborates a little on the question. Provide a short overview (three or four sentences) of the focus and aims of the literature review and of the rationale for the
question.
Provides reader with the key background information and context of the question. Can include: definitions and explanations of concepts/terms, prevalence, the impact of
the issue, contributing underlying factors, justification for the question (implications for populations, individuals, and implications for discipline/practice).
3. Review existing research
Identify patterns/themes in your literature: What key studies have been conducted, what key themes exist, what knowledge established, what is not known (gaps). ALSO
critique your studies and identify limitations & inadequacies
4. Discussion
Develop the argument about what has been established by your review. – What is known and what is not yet known. Comment on how significant/ useful the findings are
overall. Consider implications of the findings in your discipline. Sum up the gaps and limitations previously mentioned in your review. State a new research question
which could address one/some of these gaps or limitations and is worthy of further investigation.
6. Conclusion
Provide a brief summary of the existing research/knowledge addressing your enquiry question, and of the strength of the evidence for this information. Restate the new
research question that you have identified.
