UCLA Masking For COVID 19 & Decreased Emergency Department Discussion

I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Initial Post

Read the medical writing document below:

Sample Research Study: Masking for COVID-19 Is Associated with Decreased Emergency Department Utilization for Non-COVID Viral Illnesses and Respiratory Conditions in Maryland

(You can also find this article on The American Journal of Medicine‘s websit Links to an external site..)

Write a rhetorical analysis of the sample medical writing document. When analyzing the document, you could focus on one or two particular areas (like Bakke focused on credibility strategies) or multiple areas. For example, you might consider the purpose of the document, authorship, credibility, persuasive strategies/techniques, style, genre, tone, language/word use, etc.
