Journal Articles

The articles listed in Appendix 1 are divided into two groups within each clinical study. Most represent clinical trials or "evidence-based medicine."

Group 1, labeled "Recommended reading," includes articles that represent the most important findings and conclusions of the study.

Group 2, labeled "Additional background reading," includes articles that are considered less important in terms of timeliness and/or final outcome of the study.
