This paper explores the spread of Wild fires in the us. Problem Background Deliverables: · Summarize 5 research articles on the topic using a table format. · Write a 500 word summary of the problem reflecting on what you learned about how many people it affects, populations who are most affected, and contextual factors that drive vulnerability.

Wild fires in the us.

Paper instructions: Each student will explore the literature on the topic. Based on your research you will identify a specific vulnerable population and context and begin to develop your expertise. Problem Background Deliverables: · Summarize 5 research articles on the topic using a table format. · Write a 500 word summary of the problem reflecting on what you learned about how many people it affects, populations who are most affected, and contextual factors that drive vulnerability. · Cite all sources in the text and prepare a works cited page. Step 1. Find sources about your topic and read all about it Your first step is to find relevant, recent information from academic and scientific sources on your topic.

Appropriate Sources to Include in the Assignment: Primary, peer-reviewed research studies from scientific journals. Reports published on local, state, national government-sponsored websites (e.g., CDC, NIH, PEPFAR, Boston Public Health Commission); Reports published by non-governmental organizations on their websites (e.g., Planned Parenthood International, FHI 360, Amnesty International, etc.); WHO and United Nations agencies (e.g., UNICEF, UNHCR, UNAIDS), online research databases and repositories (e.g., International Health Metrics and Evaluation, Framingham Heart Study, ACES Too High, Demographic Health Surveys);

Review and meta-analysis articles can be extremely useful, but do not include them in your table. They will be more useful in other phases of the project. Be sure your resources are current (especially for any descriptive statistics about the magnitude of the problem, and definitely avoid articles that were published over 10 years ago). Wikipedia and WebMD are not acceptable sources. Step 2: Prepare a literature review table The table will provide a snapshot of 6 sources. Think of the table as a tool to help you extract important information from each article. The goal is to be able to see key details from each source side-by-side.

This will help you identify cross-cutting themes and research gaps Choose sources that provide information on magnitude, the most affected populations, and context (described below). Some sources may provide information in more than one area. The information may overlap or it may be contradictory. The table you create will help you see these similarities and differences. The table should not be longer than one page (Single-sided). No copy and paste, need to paraphrase Title, word count Author and Year Objective of the study? Who was studied? How many people were studied? What was the study design? Where did the study take place? 1-3 Key Findings Work in some specific numbers that will be useful when writing.

Study Design Limitations Strengths implications ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Include sources that help you identify the following information: Information on how the problem is defined (What causes it? What are the consequences?) Key statistics reflecting the magnitude of the problem (incidence, prevalence) overall population and in the vulnerable portion of the population that you have identified, Identify social/contextual/environmental factors that may put the population of focus at higher risk? This will be brief – Assignment 2 will be on determinants. Step 3: Synthesize your findings in a 500-word summary (not including title and works cited). https://youtu.be/6BjSaUJlf7E
