Your assignment will require you to answer a research question

How does ___ contribute to _? Or, is there an association between and __? (Is there an association between exercise and surgery recovery time? Is there a relationship between social media and narcissism? Can community programs be used to reduce depression amongst teens?)

How you choose to answer your research question is up to you, but your response to the question should be backed by research that shows evidence to support or oppose the views being expressed.

Take keywords from your research question and formulate a search. Join ideas with AND to create a complete search:
