Topic: The prescription opioid and heroin crisis: a public health approach to an epidemic of addiction
Most of the hard work involved in writing a paper entails reflecting on what you know, and how you can learn more by writing something. To accomplish this task, you need to first get your own ideas organized in a way that is meaningful to you. One tool to help with this process is writing an outline.
For this file you will need to write an introductory paragraph, and brief outline of your final paper. In the end your final paper should be 1000-1250 words and include seven sources of your choosing.
1. Media (Fictional)
2. Media (Non-Fictional) – A newspaper, magazine article, or news report available on YouTube
3. Reference Article –
4. From the Reader – Anything we’ve read on the (revised) syllabus (chapter selections from Quinones book “Dreamland”).
5. Book (non-fiction) – Select book from bibliography of research article, read book review
.6. Abstracts of the academic articles
7. Your Choice Research Article: Choice Research Article: The prescription opioid and heroin crisis: a public health approach to an epidemic of addiction.
For now, I want you to focus on getting your ideas organized so you can write efficiently and thoughtfully. To assist, this file assignment asks you to do three things:
1. Write an introductory paragraph, which should be around 200-300 words. Your introductory paragraph should contain a thesis statement (preferably at the end), and a way of situating the implications that come from your argument (for other useful tips see

2. A outline with a bullet point for each paragraph you intend to put into the paper and (1-3 sentence) summary accompanying each bullet point to describe what material you will cover in that paragraph.
3. Write your final paper should be 1000-1250 words and include seven sources of your choosing.
