PROPOSAL

PROBLEM TO BE RESEARCHED: The suicide rate in the state of Wyoming

BRIEF ABSTRACT: The suicide rates in Wyoming appear to be increasing at alarming rates, and the weather tends to be the most regularly identified culprit. The high winds, lengthy cold weather, and the furious snowstorms that permeate the region contribute greatly to the sense of despair associated with suicide victims and affect intensely the psychological makeup of residents in that state. Despite previous attempts to decrease the numbers of incidences, it appears the numbers still increase each year. The costs associated with suicide are great. First, there is the loss of viable and productive member of society. Second, in cases where the attempt is not a successful one, the medical costs are extensive. Third, employment productivity decreases extensively when a suicide is successful. [The brief abstract must be 100-125 words.]

THESIS: The high winds, lengthy cold weather, and furious snowstorms contribute greatly to the suicide rates in the state of Wyoming. [Recall that the thesis must be argumentative, and it should include the specific position taken along with three supporting elements. If your suggested thesis from the discussion met this requirement, simply copy and paste it here.]

THREE supporting elements [List them as a final test to be sure that you and the instructor both understand the elements to be used.]

• High winds

• Lengthy cold weather • Furious snowstorms

LOCATION AND TYPES OF RESOURCES [Split these into two sections.]

Location: Online library, local on-ground library, medical clinics, medical institutions, internet

Types: Books, medical journals, government reports, peer-reviewed journal articles [All sources must be scholarly and credible.]

CHALLENGES TO THE RESEARCH: Published reports may not be current, thus the research provided will not be up-to-date. Medical publications may be too dense with information to adequately cull information for this report. The topic may be too new to locate adequate support
