***TOPIC: Valuing Population Health Interventions***
One of the first and possibly most difficult tasks that a doctoral student undertakes is forming a research topic/question. In this week’s discussion (and throughout the course),
you will develop a research question related to the readings for the week. Feel free to
align the topic with your research area of interest.
Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:
Using one of the topics covered in this week’s readings, frame a research question to get feedback from your faculty
member and peers. Then in a few sentences, provide supportive content for the
background of the problem, propose a problem statement, and then explain why the
topic interests you. Create a new research question—one you have not posed in
previous weeks.
Discussion Instructions (Please Read):
Do not use quotes in the discussion. This is space to hone your scholarly writing skills.
Important notice: Do not use .com reference
sources, as most represent commercialization of content and are not considered
