Lack of mental health care in the African American community
The purpose of the annotated bibliography assignment is to provide an overview of the resources you intend to use for the course project. Your bibliography provides the instructor insight for the appropriateness of your chosen references. It gives the instructor the opportunity to provide feedback and direction on the list of resources before the final project component is due.
Feedback is given to provide direction for areas that may need improvement, clarification, or additional support. It is corrective and directive in nature. Therefore, your bibliography must contain sufficient details on which to base feedback.
Your annotated bibliography must:
- Begin with a clear thesis statement, problem statement, or research question, and be:
- Related to your degree specialization.
- Related to one or more aspects of diversity.
- Include a minimum of 15 references. Note that your course texts cannot be used as primary sources and cannot be listed as part of the 10–12 reference requirements. You may use the texts as auxiliary resources and list them in addition to the minimum required references.
- Include references that are mainly research articles, specifically:
- References must come from peer-reviewed and scholarly publications.

- The reason you chose the article.
- The relevance of the article to the course project.
