Research Report

In this 3-Minute Research Report, you will report on a specific population of clients that could benefit from a horticultural therapy program. You can report on any group of clients but you must use information published in the last 10 years to support your research report. Remember you can use your UF credentials to access the UF online library system to find credible information on your chosen client group: https://cms.uflib.ufl.edu/offcampus (Links to an external site.) and you can review the library resource videos for help in finding relevant research studies. If you are having difficulty in your search, contact a research librarian by clicking on the Library Research button in the left navigation column.
