Since choosing our topic and coming up with our originally PICOT question, we have faced some challenges. We started out with a PICOT question that seemed to be looking for information that was too specific. It was asking us to look for maternal alcohol consumption and the effects it has on learning disabilities in school aged children. It was hard to find articles that really focused specifically on what our PICOT question was asking, so we needed to make some adjustments. We changed our PICOT in order to allow more room for research. We changed the wording from maternal to prenatal to make sure we were all researching alcohol exposure while pregnant. We also changed learning disabilities to cognitive disabilities in general because it allows for more information to be included in our paper, while still including possible learning disabilities.

Our team has been successful with working together and overcoming challenges together. When we had troubles with finding research articles, we all figured out a way to change our PICOT question in order for us to find reliable research articles. We keep a group message where we can all communicate about the different parts in our project, which has helped us all be able to work together on everything. Overall, our team process has gone well and we plan on continuing to work together effectively.
