This assignment is designed for students to select a “Big Picture” topic which reflects a category in the area of A.T.O.D. For example, rather than choosing a narrow topic such as effectiveness of drug education in schools, a student may choose to discuss overall effectiveness of drug education programs, dose response, what populations these programs work best with, how “model programs” are determined, and why these are more effective, and perhaps researching what differences exists between drug education programs in the U.S versus those in other countries. Another example might be assessing treatment facilities here in the U.S versus other countries, and what aspects of these programs are identified as most effective. Another example might be how our judicial system impacts drug use and drug trafficking, what these changes have been over the years, and what these differences might be as compared to other countries. Bottom line, examining a bigger picture or larger category when exploring this line of research.
