Overview: The “Final” project is a term paper focusing on one of the substantive topics introduced during the lectures and/or readings (some potential topics are listed at the bottom of this page). I will discuss potential themes and the format of this assignment almost every week in class. The substantive focus can be on any medical sociology/health research question, for anywhere in the world, and at any spatial scale (i.e., from a study of a single village all the way up to an investigation of global patterns and trends). I will be there to help if you have no ideas.
Task: To complete a coherent study or review of a medical/health topic, emphasizing the social causes of health and disease.
Things to bear in mind: It is never too early to think about the substantive focus of your final project. You are likely to work in earnest on this project in bits and pieces throughout the semester, with greater emphasis in the second half of the course. The reading load for the course is reduced substantially after week 10 with the intent that your reading load focuses on material for the final assignment.

The text should be double-spaced, font-size 12, Times Roman font, with all margins set at 1 inch). Minimum acceptable word length is 1,500 words (excluding tables, references, figures). It is expected that a written term paper would draw on many sources of material. It is expected that all sources are cited appropriately.
