Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders in Disaster Survivors

A term paper is defined as a scholarly paper written in such a way that it would be worthy of publication in a peer reviewed journal. A paper may include sections as: Problem, Purpose, Method, Analysis, Conclusion, Recommendation, and Discussion. A literature review from journal articles normally is part of the Problem section.

PLEASE discuss this with the instructor if you are unsure how to write a paper. The topic must be approved by the instructor. The paper must be in APA style or it will not be accepted. If you are unsure what APA style is we strongly recommend that you purchase their writing tools to assist you. Papers with incorrect margins, font size, spacing, and insufficient length will not be read and either returned or given a 0% grade (i.e., greater than one inch margins, bullets incorporated into the text, numerous quotes, double double spacing…all of these are used to try to stretch a paper!). The paper will be a minimum of 10 pages. The 10 pages means 10 pages of text, not including a title page, attachments, tables, graphs, and reference list.
