Part I For Part I, you will narrow down your research interests into a refined research question and going through the following steps: Step 1 What topics are you interested in researching? During Unit 3, you narrowed down your research interests to write your annotated bibliography by reviewing the data about health issues in your county from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) County Health Rankings & Roadmaps. Using this information, pick two topics you could continue researching. Step 2 What exposures, diseases and populations you are interested in studying relating to your topic? Exposures might include socioeconomic status, health behaviors, health status, or environmental exposures. Diseases include those that are communicable or noncommunicable, neuropsychiatric or related to an injury. Examples of populations could be children, teachers, women, or members of a group like LGBTQI+ or a minority population. Step 3 Once you have determined the exposures, diseases and populations you are interested in studying, you will need to write a refined research question. This is done by combining these three elements into a question you can answer through research. Example 1: What percentage of school aged children living in statistical rural counties in Missouri have a blood lead level greater than 1.4 micrograms per deciliter caused by contaminated drinking water? Example 2: Do teenagers (13-19) believe that social media has a negative impact on their mental health? Do teenagers (13-19) believe that social media has a negative impact on their mental health?
