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.
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 thesis statement
(iii) at least three (3) body paragraph points, each with at least two subpoints illustrating the paragraph’s topic
(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 guide.
