Draft 2-3 general Public Health topics that you would be interested in researching for your Research Study Proposal, and create 1-2 potential research questions for each (see the related Jacobsen readings and reference the Oxford University PICO examples see link below). Make sure to follow the PICO framework when developing your research questions.
Keep your research questions simple. Try to focus them around two groups of people, one that has an exposure and another that does not. If you have experience with research and you would like to explore more complicated research questions, discuss what you are interested in with your instructor. The point of this final project is to expose you to the research process.
Make sure to review the Research Study Proposal Guidelines document for more information.
