Student Sample: Introduction
Introduction
African American, American Indian, and Alaska Native women are up to three times more likely to die from adverse pregnancy-related outcomes, a disparity that increases with age (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019). Researchers found a program which provided support to African American women through group trainings entailing stress reduction techniques, life skills development, and the building of social support. This enabled mitigation efforts to be focused and geared around the factors that influence and contributed to adverse pregnancy outcomes among the minority women within the community, thus reducing and preventing negative pregnanchy outcomes in women of color. In the United States, maternal mortality and adverse health outcomes persist within the minority community, and as a result, racial disparities in healthcare among pregnant women is a current preventable public health concern, therefore it is vital to understand the determinants of health that influences negative pregnancy related outcomes in minority women, similar to one of California’s intervention programs, the Black Infant Health Program (Nichols & Cohen, 2019).

Thesis Statement
Your thesis statement is the driving force of your paper based on research. It should feel like it is your entire paper in one sentence: the problem, the research, recommendation based on research.
General Formula
Problem + research + recommendation based on the research (citation) = your thesis statement
***Important***
Certain things can change in the general formula based on what your professor asks. This is why it is so important to read directions very carefully.
KG 604: Steps to the Thesis
1. Restate the Problem with citation
2. Isolate and name the company/organization/program/policy and state why it works, with citation
3. Connect #2 to your population or location and write your recommendation
Student Sample Thesis Statement
Research examples to illustrate the points above.
In the United States, maternal mortality and adverse health outcomes persist within the minority community, yet as racial disparities in healthcare among pregnant women is a current preventable public health concern, it is vital to understand the determinants of health that influences negative pregnancy related outcomes in minority women, similar to one of California’s intervention programs, the Black Infant Health Program (Nichols and Cohen, 2019).

Literature Review
Definition (part of the overall research paper you will write for this course)
A literature review is an objective summary of what the scientific literature says about
your specific topic or question. In this kind of paper, you demonstrate your familiarity with pertinent work in the field. The literature review gives the research history, upon which later research can be built.
The Literature Review is Not a Research Paper
Research Paper (what you may be writing in other courses; includes a literature review) The goal of a research paper is to draw on what others have to say about a topic and
engage the sources in order to thoughtfully offer a unique perspective on the issue at hand.
Typically includes these sections (may vary per your professor’s assignment):
1. Introduction
2. Review of Literature
3. Analysis of Literature
