***Part 1 has been completed by you***
Here are the instructions for part 1. for a reminder.  I will be assigning the other parts to you today as well. I really appreciate the help.

Research Proposal Instructions
Understanding applied research will enable you to be more effective advocates of programs you
are supporting in working or volunteer capacities. Outside of the behavioral health fields,
understanding good research methodology can be applied to any industry to help better identify
and tell the story of community need and impact of services, while supporting quality
improvement efforts. For this multi-part Research Project, you will identify a research question
relevant to the field of psychology, analyze qualitative and quantitative methodology, and write
an executive summary that proposes the research plan.
Part 1 – Topic Selection/ Annotated Bibliography
1. Select a research topic either selected from the list below, or a topic relevant to your
profession/interest. Potential research topics include:
