Details on the Individual Research Paper:

1. Length and Style: The body of an analytic research paper should be at least 10 pages in length (but not more than 12 pages) and typed using the APA Guide. Student projects distill fundamental issues, discuss the various available solutions, discuss the benefits and limitations of the available solutions, and provide a new solution and justification. Student papers must state a thesis, and based on the research, attempt to prove or disprove that thesis. An adequate literature search will include a few books and journal articles (or other relevant documents). A search of Internet documentation is required. Students should develop a conclusion which synthesizes the literature in such a way as to demonstrate new knowledge.

Guidelines for the format of the paper are as follows:

  • The paper should be 10-12 pages of text in length. (This minimum and maximum length should not include the title page, separate figures and tables, or the list of references);
  • The paper should include a one-paragraph abstract, an introduction, and a conclusion – think as if you were writing for a professional journal;
  • The paper should use the APA (7th Edition) format.

Explain briefly what you understand “socially responsible investing” to be. (See pages 176-177.)

Then, thinking about your personal values and concerns you may have about the state of the world, what types of companies would you want to invest in? What sorts of companies would you avoid? In other words, if you had money to invest in stocks or mutual funds, how would you invest in a way that would reflect your values?

Chapter 11

On pages 186-187, Gonick and Kasser talk about a different way to measure the well-being and success of a country that looks at happiness rather than Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Potential Community Health Interventions

Select one of the specific health improvement needs that you identified in the first assignment.

One approach may be the same one that you identified in your Unit 3 assignment, or you can select two new approaches. Each must be evidence-based. One strategy must be based on a treatment model and the other, a wellness model.

  • Treatment models provide care to patients who exhibit a problem.
  • Wellness models take proactive steps to prevent development of a problem.

Note

Be sure to differentiate between these two models explicitly.

You may wish to research how other communities are addressing the need and locate national data. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Web site (linked in Resources) may be a good place to start.

  • Restate the specific health improvement need that you are researching.
  • Identify the salient characteristics of the affected community.
  • Assess how social determinants affect individuals relative to the specific health need.
  • Assess how other factors may impact the health need.
  • Present two approaches to address the identified problem.
    • Describe an evidence-based treatment model to address the health need.
    • Describe an evidence-based wellness model to prevent future development of the health problem.
    • Be explicit in your descriptions, pointing out the identifying characteristics of each model. How can you tell whether the model belongs in the treatment model or the wellness model?
    • Assess the advantages and disadvantages of each model.
