Assignment:

A proposal should contain all the key elements involved in designing a completed research study with sufficient information that allows readers to assess the validity and usefulness of your proposed study. The only elements missing from a research proposal are the findings of the study and your analysis of those findings. Finally, an effective proposal is judged on the quality of your writing and, therefore, it is important that your proposal is coherent, clear, and compelling.

Building on your outline, students are to write a draft research proposal. Your draft should include the following:

• Title: Your title should give a clear indication of your proposed research study = Depression during adolescence
• Background and Rationale: Includes the background and issues of your proposed research (problem statement); literature review; summary of debates and developments in the field of social work.
• Research Question: Formulate clear research question(s) and an explanation as to what problems and issues are to be explored and why they are worth exploring.
• Research Methodology: Outline the theoretical resources that are being used, identify the theoretical framework, the research methods for the proposed research, and a discussion of the advantages and limits of the selected approaches and methods identified.
• Bibliography: Include a list of references to articles discussed within your research proposal and the sources that are appropriate to the proposed research.
