Paper Format: Please follow these guidelines for organizing your paper: The length should be approximately 10-12 double-spaced pages (excluding cover page and references). The number of sections and the number of pages allocated to each section are at the discretion of the student. You may include pictures, tables and graphs; however, this should not be counted as your 8-10 pages of double-spaced text. You must have citations for these pictures, tables, graphs, etc.
Cover page: Paper title, student name, course number and date.
On the first page of the paper, state the rationale and purpose of the paper, and describe the structure or how the paper will be organized.
Please use several subheadings to break up the paper into logical sections.
Students may decide what the majority of their subheading are but must include the following subheadings:
Introduction
Your topic in Health Disparities (e.g., Diabetes and Health Disparities in MS) Recommendations and Solutions to Improve the Health Disparities
Conclusion
You might want to spend 1-3 pages describing the topic concept.
When describing studies, please describe their methods succinctly (i.e., mention sample size, how recruited) and consider giving actual study results rather than just broad findings (e.g., “One study of 755 North Carolina college students recruited through a school newspaper ad found that 39.9% reported searching for sexual health information online in the past 30 days”).
At the conclusion of your paper, summarize your findings and make clear, tangible evidence-based recommendations about future studies that are needed or describe solutions to the problem you are addressing – do not be afraid to take a stand about an issue.
As with all writing, please use clear topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph to guide the reader.
For cited references, the paper must adhere to the guidelines set forth by the American Psychological Association Style Manual.
