Introduction:
This introductory paragraph should review the five sections ( Introduction, Literature Review, Method section, Results & finding sections.) that will be in this paper. (Please refer to the titled uploaded documents)
Summary of the Study :
This section should give an overview of the entire study. It should begin with a review of the problem and the type of information collected. The research questions should also be restated. A brief statement or several sentences regarding the contents of the review of literature should be included. The population from which the sample was drawn should be described.
Findings :
A review of all of the findings from the statistical analysis of data should be presented. This should occur in the same sequence as they were presented in Results paper (refer to results paper). They should be presented factually and in an organized narrative.
Conclusions:
Conclusions should be based on the research questions in Introduction paper. They should be presented in the same order as the research questions. This paper of the research paper should bring the research full circle. Be very clear about stating conclusions and the discussion of the conclusions. Tell the reader “what” you discovered. This chapter is anything and everything that the researcher wants to say about the research that has been conducted. Be sure to use references in this paper to support what is being said! Tie everything together. Analyze, synthesize, and evaluate what was found in the research with what you found.
Implications:
Implications are practical suggestions in Public Health Education for addressing the issues that have been raised in the research. Suggest what should be done and how it can be done. This is important! It is easy to make suggestions as to what should be done regarding an issue; it is another thing to suggest how it can be done. Be certain to indicate the level at which the suggested action could be implemented (Global, State, facility, agency, etc.) There may not be more than two or three implications for practice. The quantity is not as important as the quality of thought behind the suggestions.
Future Research :
In the review of literature and in the research that was studied, several “holes” were probably identified. Give some thought as what further could be studied in the area of research conducted. The suggestions should stem from the review of literature you conducted and or your research, nothing “pie-in-the-sky”. When stating what should be studied, also indicate why this is important. Provide a rationale for why the additional research should be done.
Summary:
This summary should be 2 to 3 pages in length. It should begin with a brief statement of the purpose, followed by an overview of the findings, and conclusions.
