Epidemiology of lung cancer. • What are the links between lung cancer and human populations (including statistics)? Make sure to clearly state your hypothesis? What evidence is there to support/disprove the hypothesis? • What behaviors, practices, environmental exposures, occupations, socio-economic status, heredity, race, gender, etc. are associated with lung cancer? • What are the physiological links (carcinogens, stress, diet, radiation, radon gas, viruses, etc.) and how do these risk factors cause lung cancer. References: Consult at least 5 sources for your information. • Use only authoritative sources for the paper and at least one scientific journal article as a source. If you use the internet, make sure that the site is reputable (i.e., a university, medical center, online scientific journal). • At least one article must be from a peer-reviewed journal (in other words, you cannot have only websites and internet sources). Medline and Medline-Plus are available from the library computers. • List the bibliography at the end of your paper using a standard and consistent format (APA). • You may use ISUU or Piktochart • Presentations must be in your own words—no copying from books, internet, journals, etc.; however, you may use resources to gather information. Please provide a list of your references; at least one article must be from a peer-reviewed journal (in other words, you can’t have only websites and internet sources). Rubric Criteria Introduction: Clearly presented necessary background material. Topic was relevant and clearly stated. Originality: How original was the idea or topic? Did the author find new and cutting edge information regarding cancer treatment, diagnosis, screening, etc? Did the author make an interesting correlation between cancer and some other area (e.g., nutrition, economy, politics, insurance, history, etc.)? Discussion: How well did the author support their topic? Did the author use literature or other media to draw conclusions and to support their thesis?
