See the way it combines both qualitative and quantitative methods.I’ve attached the scoping review chart google link, and an example of the published form of a scoping review so you see what it eventually results in
I’ll send your 6 articles separately to each of you, so as not to confuse who will read what.
Scoping Review “Chart” to fill out. 
An example of another completed “scoping review” that I’ve written on Christian Faith and Resilience. untitled (nacsw.org). Not required reading, just skim for an example of how this article reading fleshes out as a type of research.
Some notes for the Chart:
You can feel free to use phrases, words, sentences, etc that will give us a sense of it. I listed an example to follow. You can take up two/three rows if you need to.
*Others who choose Option 3 will use the same google sheet, so you may want to start with your title. Currently
Read the article, and fill in each column with what it asks for. Feel free to ask my any questions, but also don’t fall into overthinking this- you really are reading the article, and summarizing (in chart form) key aspects of it. When all the articles are done, you may see some “trends” of the information, both similarities and differences that start to paint a picture.”
