Diabetes and mental health

Choose a topic for your research paper that is focused and about which you can ask a specific research question.

Avoid encyclopedia-style reports on a general topic; such broad topics can become overwhelming and do not allow for purposeful research.

For example, choosing for your topic a condition such as “diabetes” or “autism,” a setting such as “airports,” or an issue such as “ethics” will likely make for a shallow paper. Instead, ask a focused question about your topic. Then generate your thesis in answer to this question.

Outlining for APA Research Paper: You must submit a detailed outline of your research paper.

Outlines may be in one of several formats, as directed by your instructor, but all outlines must include the following:

(i) a separate outline point for each paragraph,

(ii) a point for your introduction that includes your topic statement, (iii) at least three (3) body paragraph points, each with at least two subpoints illustrating the paragraph’s topic, and

(iv) a point for a concluding paragraph.

Your outline should be single spaced and no shorter than a full page. Your textbook has several examples of outlines that follow these guiD
