Overview
The purpose of this assignment is to connect the topic from your discussion topic from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) into an actual question. This question is one that will be developed into a full research proposal across the remainder of the course. Prior to developing the PICO question, secure some background information that will provide you with more information related to the topic you have been assigned. For example, if you are seeking more information on a phenomenon/topic of interest, information may be gleaned from textbooks, professional practice guidelines, and other resources. The background questions you address for prepare you for developing the foreground question(s) which is the research question. The PICO Format provided structure for developing the question.
