- ethical considerations surrounding your topic,
- a brief discussion of the etiology of your topic,
- a description of the elements of causality for your topic using Hill’s criteria, and
- a summary.
Make certain that you integrate your previous work (submitted in Units III and V) in a sensible and organized way in order for the final research paper to flow seamlessly from one section to another. You should use section headings as a way to keep your paper visually organized.
Based on how they fit into your particular research topic, make certain that the areas below are addressed.
- Describe historical antecedents of epidemiology.
- Explain elements of causality and how they impacted your research.
