- Less than three (3) years old – Articles older will have points deducted so make sure to keep a close eye on the date!
- Three (3) Articles must be about current research on the chosen objective.
- Two (2) articles must be related to current health prevention/promotion initiatives to alleviate/improve the public health issue that the objective focuses on.
