Instructions
In order to create an evidence-based social media campaign, you will need to do some research about alcohol use patterns in your target population. In addition to the learning resources in the classroom, search for related research articles, data, and statistics to include in your campaign. Your search should identify how your target population is impacted by alcohol. You should also look for prevention/health promotion and treatment/intervention strategies that have been used to address problematic alcohol use. Here is a resource that could be useful for providing an overview of treatment options. https://www.naatp.org/addiction-treatment-resources/treatment-methods
What is a credible source?
A credible source is one that is trustworthy because it is unbiased and supported by evidence. While popular media outlets and websites may provide good information, they are often written by journalists who are not necessarily experts in the field. These sources may also be biased and present an incomplete picture in order to support a personal or political agenda. Credible sources will be written or reviewed by experts in the field and will include a list of references to support the information presented. If there are no references in your source, assume that it is not credible.
Sources MUST be within the last 5 years; therefore, you MUST have a date. No date (nd) will not be accepted or counted toward your required minimum of 10 credible sources.

What is a scholarly source?
For this assignment, you must include all scholarly, peer-reviewed sources.
A scholarly source is one that has been written by experts in the field and have undergone peer-review. That is, the source has been reviewed by other experts in the field to verify that it meets the highest level of scholarship and rigor. Scholarly sources generally report on original research that has been done on a given topic.
Peer-reviewed journal articles can be challenging to read as they are written for scholars. They often include sections on research design and data analysis, which require in-depth knowledge of research methods. For this assignment, you may find it helpful to focus on the abstract (summary of the entire article), the introduction/literature review (overview of the previous research on the topic), the discussion (summary of the findings, limitations, and implications of the research findings), and the conclusion (general summary and future directions).
UMGC’s library databases allow you to search for scholarly sources by clicking on “Scholarly Journals Only” in the OneSearch box (https://libguides.umgc.edu/home).
