Write Research Question

Review the session content for writing a research question:

Use the following template to create your submission for this assignment:

• (Word doc)

Complete the following:

1. Choose a health issue that interests you and is relevant to community medicine. This could be from a case you saw on a community experience in S01.
2. Write a short introduction explaining the chosen health issue and its relevance. State the research question and explain why it is important to investigate. Use the following form to create your search strategy to help find evidence to write your introduction
6. (Word doc)
7. Define the PICO(T) elements related to the research question. Clearly describe the Population, Intervention/Exposure, Comparison, Outcome, and Time elements.
8. Explain how the research question meets the FINER criteria. Specifically, describe how the research question is Feasible, Interesting, Novel, Ethical, and Relevant.

Word count does not include the words already in the template or the listed references.

Your Turnitin score will be impacted by the words in the template and the listed references. We are aware of this and will not consider just the score but will look at the details to see what is flagged.

32 to >26.0 pts

Average

Introduces the health issue with relevance supported by evidence; the gap in existing research is defined and importance is explained.

26 to >20.0 pts

Below Average

The health issue is introduced but lacks clarity or relevance or not supported by evidence; the gap in existing research is vague or underdeveloped.

20 to >0 pts

Unsatisfactory
