-Using data and statistics, support your claim that your selected issue is a problem.
– Include your purpose statement and what specifically you will address in your proposed program.
-Be sure your proposed outcome is realistic and measurable.
3. PICOT- Should be discussed in detail. This section should include your PICOT question but also should provide thorough descriptions of your population, intervention, comparison intervention, outcome, and timing (if appropriate to your question).

-Use appropriate APA 7th Ed. format along with Syllabus outline
-Scholarly, peer-reviewed, and research articles cited should be within the last five years.
-This section should be 3-4 pages long (not including the title and reference page).
