Opioid Crisis in Indiana – Annotated Bibliography
Unit 6 Assignment
How to Combat the Opioid Crisis in Indiana?
Topic Statement:
The Indiana government, community leaders, and communities should work towards providing all Hoosiers with educational information, treatment options, health services, holistic care, and technological platforms to ensure access to health, create awareness, treat addiction, and assure recovery for all affected individuals.
For the Unit 6 Assignment, you will prepare an annotated bibliography that includes four sources related to your idea for change.
Include the following:
• Title page in APA format
• Your revised thesis statement for an argument for change in your community
• Citations and annotations for four separate sources, which can be primary or secondary but should all be credible and appropriate for academic research
• One source that includes a visual or graphic component to help you prepare for the Unit 9 Assignment (the presentation)
• One source that addresses a rival hypothesis or misconception about your topic (NOTE: the source does not have to oppose your thesis; it just needs to help you address a rival perspective)
• Citations should be in APA format
• Annotations should include the following:
o 1–2 sentence summary of the source’s main idea, followed by an in-text citation, e.g. (Smith, 2014)
o Evaluation of the source’s credibility, including the author’s credentials and the verifiability of the source’s information; this should include where you found the source (Library, Google search engine, government website, etc.). Use the criteria covered in Evaluating Information to guide your evaluation.
o Discussion about how you will use the source to support your argument for community change . In this section, paraphrase a key point from the source that supports or challenges your thesis and include an in-text citation.
• NOTE: No separate references page is needed, but each annotation should have a complete reference citation in APA format.
Sources that would be appropriate to use are as follows:
• Book, ebook, article, or a chapter from book or ebook
• Periodical (e.g., newspaper, magazine, journal article)
• Internet source (e.g., blog, organization website, article from internet site)
• Video or audio source if graphs use 2 (e.g., documentary, video blog, TED Talk, podcast)
• A primary source in which the authors of the content are the primary researchers (the ones who conducted research), e.g., a government report, case study, or speech
• An interview with an expert source either published online or conducted by the student
• A visual or graphic source from a credible .org, .gov, or .edu site
• The writing should be in Standard English
Attached are the previous papers pertaining to the Opioid Crisis in Indiana.
Also, for the rival or myth source, possible one is the myth that it is okay to refer to individuals with opioid disorders as addicts, junkies, and users—just a suggestion. Use your discretion.
Please include the sites. Both sites are mentioned in the attached papers.
The Brewer article contains graphs that may be used for the visual aspect.
