Research Paper Assignment

Overview

Before starting this Research Paper Assignment, you will need to complete the Quiz: Research Paper Topic.

For this Research Paper Assignment, you will write a literature review research paper based on your chosen topic. Your Research Paper Assignment should focus on mental health, first responders, and crisis work in the specific area of your approved topic and your identified population of interest. Since this is a course about first responders and crisis intervention, avoid discussing topics such as psychotherapy/counseling, medicine, law, economics and so forth. Make sure to avoid personal experience and opinion, as this is strictly a literature review paper with Scriptural integration.
