Objective(s):
Identify barriers to prenatal care.
Determine contributing factors of preterm births among African American.
The minimum word count for each reply is 50 words. Critique their ideas to help them form a good research problem/question. Give feedback with the following in mind:
Does either of the top two choices seem appropriate for a five-page paper? (For example, is it too narrow, too broad, etc.)
Do you think your colleague will be able to support the topic with current references?
Be respectful. You can provide productive feedback in a supportive manner. Remember your feedback might help your colleague fine-tune their research question into one that can be tackled in this class. Full points for rich responses. Partial points for weak responses.
