ACU Impact of COVID 19 on Anxiety Levels Literature Review

Using the 6-8 peer-reviewed research articles that you have identified, write up a succinct literature review summarizing the already existing findings, any contradictions in the literature, any consensus in the literature, questions that are posed by researchers, etc. It should be clear to the reader where YOUR hypothesis fits in the literature that you identified. In other words, your literature review should make it clear why we should study your hypothesis. Make sure to follow an appropriate APA format while citing references.
