Which of the following is the correct way to incorporate evidence?

• According to Nikita Gofth in from The Journal of Women's Health, "[o]ne can only be sure of one thing by avoiding regular physician visits: not knowing" (2015). It seems like simple enough logic, but something still prevents millions of Americans from maintaining regular visits to their general physicians.

• People think it is okay to avoid going to the doctor. But they are wrong. "Avoiding regular physician visits is detrimental to physical and emotional health" (Nikita gofth, 2015).

• Unfortunately, "Most people still cannot afford even the co-pays required of them upon visiting a physician, due to insufficient coverage and/or minimal insurance."

• "Whether or not people go to the doctor, people are still more fearful of visiting the physician in general than in prior decades." (BCBS, website).
