Description
Create a structured outline for your needs assessment paper, including which references you intend to use in your final paper. Make sure to include each required section. Your structured outline must be about 1-2 pages. The community must be located within the US and must be your original work (not be based on a project that has already taken place or been reported).
References- A minimum of 8 references are required. Only three can be government websites. All other references must be PEER REVIEWED JOURNALS (NOT WEBSITES).
