Epidemiology Writing

Kindly note:

 

 you will need to submit a draft of your research paper with several components to ensure you are on the right track:

 

an outline of your research and the intended direction of your argument, (2 page)at least five scholarly resources you have found that contribute to your topic, (1 page)

 

a brief annotated bibliography of two scholarly resources, (1 page)

 

an abstract outlining your topic and your subsequent findings (1 page)

 

The topic of my discussion is: ” Secular trends” and “cohort effects” in epidemiology   – Use this for the draft research outline.

The following subcategories need to be discussed in the outline as well:

 

What is meant by a clinical trial as a type of experimental epidemiological study design? 

What is meant by a community trial as a type of experimental epidemiological study design? Provide at least one relevant example.

What is meant by an intervention study as a type of experimental epidemiological study design? Provide at least one relevant example.

Discuss temporal differences in cohort designs for epidemiologic research. Why is this aspect important to consider?

 

This research draft should be at least 4 pages, double spaced, with Times New Roman 12 point font, and use appropriate APA style writing. You should be thorough in your research so your professor (or a colleague) could adequately determine your intended research and the direction you are going with your paper.
