Research Journal 1

What was the process by which you narrowed down potential topics to two appropriate ones? And how were these decisions made on the basis of either class discussion, or our required, course textbook (Aveyard 2014), or both? I had the decision to make choose the topic based on either information i already know or information I want to know. It would have been easier for me to choose a topic based on what I already know to do with weight control and nutrition, but i decided to go with prescription drug addiction and overdose because it is something I find interesting that i came across in looking through the American Journal of Public Health. What research question did you choose, and how are I can be sure you're making a reasoned, academic judgement on the basis of chapters 1-3 (Aveyard 2014)? Are prescription drugs as dangerous as illicit illegal drugs? Why? What is the reason that these drugs are legal and prescription and the other drugs aren't? What article (or articles) are you basing this question on, and what type of article is it (research, theory, policy, practice) (citation[s] in APA, please)? http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/abuse-of-prescription-drugs#1 James and - http://www.jabfm.org/content/21/1/45.abstract https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wicked-deeds/201404/prescription-drugs-are-more-deadly-street-drugs
