Full-Sentence Outline

A. Thesis: The obesity epidemic needs a government intervention because the medical costs

associated with obesity cost taxpayers money, unhealthy foods need tighter regulations, and

public schools need to provide healthier options.

B. First body paragraph topic sentence: The medical cost associated with weight-related

issues has significantly contributed to individual taxes.

1. Supporting evidence: “…the costs of obesity arising from individuals’ poor

nutritional choices are borne by society as a whole through taxes, lost productivity,

and an overburdened healthcare system. In 2008, the medical costs associated with

obesity and obesity-related illnesses totaled US $147 billion in the United States”

(Franck et al., 2013, p. 1951).

2. Analysis: This shows a connection between obesity and an increase in medical costs

and taxes. This quote supports the claim that weight-related medical issues contribute

to increased taxes for all taxpayers by explaining the connection and demonstrating

the high dollar costs to show that this is a current problem affecting a government

process (taxation) and therefore could be appropriately addressed by government

intervention.

C. Second body paragraph topic sentence: Another reason that weight should be considered a

governmental issue is that the market for unhealthy food in America has overtaken the

general food market and the government needs to actively curb the incentives to frequent

these establishments.

1. Supporting evidence: “[M]eals are increasingly being consumed outside the home,

and these meals tend to be higher in fat. A literal fat tax… theoretically would

encourage individuals to opt for low-fat or nonfat alternatives” (Franck et al., 2013, p.

1951).

2. Analysis: This quote alludes to many of the main problems with fast food

consumption and explains that a tax on these fast food could curb the consumption of

junk food. If a fat tax is effective, this shows the need for the government to impose

such a thing.

D. Third body paragraph topic sentence: Finally, the government is responsible for ensuring

that children have access to healthy food and exercise while in school.

1. Supporting evidence: A connection between Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!”

campaign and a reduction in overall childhood obesity across America has been

demonstrated (Tucker, 2013, p. 5). 2. Analysis: This information shows the effectiveness of government-backed programs,

with “Let’s Move!” as the specific example, which supports the concept of

government involvement in reducing childhood obesity and providing a foundation

for establishing long-term healthy habits.

The following samples illustrate ways an outline can be structured and how detailed it can be. Whether using letters,

numbers, bullets, or a combination, each part of an outline should be labeled so it is always clear what is being included.

The following sample includes APA-style citations and references.

Page numbers are not required

when citing paraphrased information.

However, you may include

them if doing so would better

direct readers to the information

cited.

A full-sentence outline may be required

when submitting an outline as a course

assignment, as shown here.

E. Conclusion

1. Rephrased thesis: Obesity is causing taxpayers more money. Unhealthy foods are

not regulated and inadequate nutrition and exercise in schools are leading to a rise in

obesity. Therefore, the government needs to intervene in order to decrease the rates of

obesity.

2. Significance: The government’s intervention is important so that we can reduce the

rates of obesity before they soar to an uncontrollable level.

Week 3 – Assignment

Due Oct 17 by 1:59am Points 6 Submitting an external tool

Outline for the Psychiatric Diagnosis Review the instructions for the Psychiatric Diagnosis assignment in Week Six. This week’s assignment will build upon the work you have completed on your chosen case study in the Week 1 or Week 2 discussion forum.

For this assignment, you will construct an outline (https://writingcenter.uagc.edu/outlining) of your Week 6 Psychiatric Diagnosis paper. This outline (https://writingcenter.uagc.edu/outlining) is meant to provide structure for your final assignment, jump-start your thought process on your case study, and ensure you are on the correct path toward the successful completion of your diagnosis.

Your outline (https://writingcenter.uagc.edu/outlining) should be one to two pages of content and include a brief two- to three-sentence description of each of the required areas listed in the Week 6 Psychiatric Diagnosis instructions, except for the following two areas:

Justify the use of the chosen diagnostic manual (i.e., Why was this manual chosen over others?). Evaluate symptoms within the context of an appropriate theoretical orientation for this diagnosis (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, biological, sociocultural, evolutionary, psychoanalytic, integrative, etc.). NOTE: Be clear that you are writing about theoretical orientations and using the theoretical orientations to explain the client’s symptoms and presenting problems. Do not use the theoretical orientations to discuss any therapy or treatment approaches. Your application of the theoretical orientations should answer the question: How did this client develop the symptoms and current presenting problems? For example, “Based on the cognitive perspective, how did this client develop the symptoms and current presenting problem?” “Based on the humanisitic perspective, how did this client develop the symptoms and current presenting problem?” Etc…

develop the symptoms and current presenting problem?” Etc…

For these two areas, provide a complete draft of your justification and evaluation based on the case study. You must include explicit information on the theoretical orientation chosen for the case and justification of the use of the diagnostic manual chosen. Research a minimum of five peer-reviewed sources published within the last 10 years to support your choice of theoretical orientation and diagnostic manual. These sources will also be used for the Psychiatric Diagnosis paper. The outline should specify which sources will apply to the justification and evaluation areas.

The Outline for the Psychiatric Diagnosis:

Must be one to two single-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the UAGC Writing Center (http://writingcenter.uagc.edu/) . Must include a separate title page with the following:

Title of paper Student’s name University name (The University of Arizona Global Campus) Course name and number Instructor’s name Date submitted

Must use at least five peer-reviewed sources published within the last 10 years. Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Writing Center. Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.

Week 6 – Final Paper

Due Nov 7 by 1:59am Points 30 Submitting an external tool

Psychiatric Diagnosis For this assignment, students will investigate and propose a psychiatric diagnosis based on the case study from the Gorenstein and Comer (2022) textbook Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology, chosen in the Week One “Initial Call” discussion or the Week Two “Initial Assessment” discussion. This paper will include an in-depth overview of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, treatment options for the diagnosis, and a sound rationale that explains why this diagnosis was made. Note that the diagnosis may include more than one psychiatric disorder.

The paper must present a thorough overview of each disorder within the diagnosis. Assume the audience has no prior knowledge of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, and provide relevant and easy to understand explanations of each for the readers. When writing the paper, it is critical to convey all the necessary information in a straightforward manner using non-technical language. (Reference the Professional Voice and Writing (https://content.bridgepointeducation.com/curriculum/file/742ac0df- ff32-43bf-a05f- 805e3913cbc1/1/Ashford%20Writing%20Center%20Professional%20Writing%20Infographic.pdf) resource provided by the Writing Center for assistance.) Support the analysis with at least five peer-reviewed sources published within the last ten years in addition to the course text.

The Psychiatric Diagnosis topical paper must include the following:

Explain psychological concepts in the patient’s presentation using professional terminology. Identify symptoms and behaviors exhibited by the patient in the chosen case study. Match the identified symptoms to potential disorders in the DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual. Propose a diagnosis based on the patient’s symptoms and the criteria listed for the

10/18/23, 1:00 PM Page 1 of 5

Propose a diagnosis based on the patient’s symptoms and the criteria listed for the disorder(s) in the DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual. Analyze and explain how the patient meets criteria for the disorder(s) according to the patient’s symptoms and the criteria outlined in the DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual. Justify the use of the chosen DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual (i.e., What evidence supports the validity of this manual? What are limitations of this manual?). Summarize general views of the diagnosis from at least three theoretical orientations (g., cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, biological, sociocultural, evolutionary, psychoanalytic, integrative, etc.). NOTE: Be clear that you are writing about theoretical orientations and using the theoretical orientations to explain the diagnosis. Do not use the theoretical orientations to discuss any therapy or treatment approaches. Your application of the theoretical orientations should answer the question: What causes this diagnosis? For example, “Based on the cognitive perspective, what causes this diagnosis?” “Based on the humanisitic perspective, what causes this diagnosis?” Etc. In addition, you may include a historical perspective on the diagnosis, but this is not required. Also note that here you are summarizing views of the overall diagnosis, not specific individual symptoms. Include a discussion on comorbidity if the diagnosis includes more than one disorder. Evaluate symptoms within the context of an appropriate theoretical orientation for this diagnosis (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, biological, sociocultural, evolutionary, psychoanalytic, integrative, etc.). NOTE: Here you are evaluating specific symptoms, not the overall diagnosis.

Use at least two peer-reviewed articles to assess the validity of this diagnosis, and describe which demographics are at a higher risk of developing the disorder or receiving the diagnosis based on age, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. Provide a brief evaluation of the scientific merit of these peer-reviewed sources in the validity assessment. Summarize the risk factors (i.e., biological, psychological, environmental, and/or social) for the diagnosi If one of the categories is not relevant, address this within the summary. Compare evidence-based and non-evidence-based treatment options for the diagnosi Evaluate well-established treatments for the diagnosis, and describe the likelihood of success or possible outcomes for each treatment. Create an annotated bibliography of five peer-reviewed references published within the last ten years to inform the diagnosis and treatment recommendati In the annotated bibliography, write a two- to three- sentence evaluation of the scientific
