The purposes of this assignment are to examine the topic of Type A intervention in more depth, and to practice gleaning key information from a research article, in preparation for your cancer research paper. (The pieces of information that I’m asking you to find and report from this article are very similar to the things that should be discussed from the research articles on your chosen type of cancer).
Read the attached article by Karlberg, Krakau, and Unden and then answer the following questions. Remember that information from an article must always be paraphrased in your own words.
