DRAFT DPP SECTION 1.1 AND 1.2

This assignment is a further development of the capstone project topic. The goal is for you to clearly articulate the topic that will be the focus of your study along with a rationale that supports the need for further investigation of this topic.

You will need to clearly and succinctly articulate what is known about the topic, what isn’t known, and what the consequences are for not studying this topic.

You will be asked to support your thinking with information from the literature.

This assignment is a draft. You will use the feedback you get from your instructor to complete the final version of Section 1 of the DHS DPP Form [DOCX] in Week 7.
