ilterature Review and Theoretical Framework (3-5 paragraphs)

Synthesize relevant primary literature and clearly identify the theory (or theories) guiding the proposed program. Students should explain key theoretical constructs and how they will inform later program design decisions.

You should have between 5-6 research references from the Atkins library (Google Scholar is not encouraged). This can include book chapters (not an entire book) that are also research related. This does not include media articles (e.g. CNN, Sports Illustrated). Your references should not be more than 7 years old (oldest can be from 2019). However, if there are not updated research references, you will need to note this within your paper.

One way to make this process easier is to develop a table which looks like this:

Name of reference/authorSummary of ArticleHow it relates to your projectBrown, C.S. & Ogunyemi, E. (2026). Creating a project for Global Aging and Physical Activity. Journal of Make Believe, 2(2), 1-52. doi: 439571038.

Researchers created a course and then discussed how students can use their country topic of interest to develop a physical activity protocol in a semester.The step by step process of how to design a protocol for a specific population, older adults, is what was needed to pass the class.

Then you can use the information you have placed in these different boxes to write your paragraphs. It would look something like this:

In the article by Brown and Ogunyemi (2026), researchers discussed how they created a course for undergraduate students at a university. The course was new and the project had previously been completed by the ‘more than TA’ Ogunyemi. The article described the step by step process students used to develop their physical activity protocol for older adults in a country of their interest.

i have attach below is the description of the assignmentand the criteria. Let me know if you have any question!

The diary should be min 400 and max 500 words (reference will not be included in the word count). You will need to attach both the trigger piece (non academic material) and a self taken photo illustrating a real world example related to your reflection. Topic can not be the same as diary 1 Remember, self- reflection is not a summary/ report. Trigger piece should be current, and the topic should relate to presentation topic(s) and discussion (refer to uploaded students PDF PPT).

Assignment overview:

This assignment will provide an opportunity for you to engage with and learn from agencies, advocates, or efforts in the field/real-world. The idea will be to take what you are learning in the classroom and witness it in real world examples and engage with communities and populations you hope to serve in the future. There will be several options to choose from. You will be expected to write a report of what you learned and experienced. You can select one of the following options to complete the assignment:

Option 1– Interview someone working in the field, who’s mission specifically targets SDOH.

• Create an interview guide to frame your interview. The interview guide should include 5-10 questions that you plan to ask your interviewee. I am not providing a pre-determined set of questions, as I want you to explore and discuss topics that are of most interest to you and relevant to the individual you are interviewing and the work they are doing or the population they are serving. You will need to submit the interview guide as part of your assignment submission.
• Remember to allow time to set up an interview. These do not need to be in-person interviews, a zoom (or any virtual platform) interview would be fine. However, make sure you talk to the professional (i.e., you cannot conduct the interview over email by writing.
• You might know people personally whose work aligns with addressing the SDOH. Alternatively, you might be very curious about a topic and not have any direct connections there so do some research on people locally, nationally, who are working on SDOH topics you are interested in. This is a good opportunity to reach out and make a connection. E-mail people, introduce yourself and the assignment and why you are interested in speaking with them. Below is an example verbiage you might send in the e-mail (you do not have to use this, but it is available if you would like to use it):

Hello [persons name make sure to check if they have specific credentials],

My name is [your name]. I am an undergraduate student in the department of [insert your department] at George Mason University. I am currently enrolled in a course that explores the Social Determinants of Health. Our upcoming assignment requires us to interview someone who is in the field working to address the Social Determinants of Health.

I would like to interview you because [insert reasons why you want to talk to this person]. The interview should not take more than 20-30 minutes and can be conducted virtually on Zoom.

I appreciate your attention to my e-mail and thank you for your considering participating in my assignment. I look forward to hearing from you.

• You might want to record the interview because it will take away the pressure to write everything down. You can then refer to the recording while writing your summary and be more present during the interview. If you do record, make sure you have asked for permission from the person you are interviewing first!
• If there is a certain individual that you would really like to interview and they are not available until after the due date, please let me know. We can make arrangements to extend the deadline. I might ask for some proof that the interview date has to occur after the deadline (e.g., proof of conversation with the interviewee). Just make sure to discuss this with me prior. Do not wait until the last minute to discuss this with me.
