1.  You can use this website to find some information:  

http://libguides.tjc.edu/psychology 

2.  Pick 3 countries from the following list for the alcoholism/addiction statistics as well as any other accompanying facts that might be related. The countries to choose from are:  United States, Canada, Japan, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland, Italy Nigeria, Ethiopia, Cuba, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Mexico, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Poland, Turkey.

Write a 2 page essay about why there are differences in the prevalence of alcoholism or drug addiction (you may choose either one) and support your answer using the resources you’ve found either from the library sources or on one of your searches.  You can and should use the textbook as one source, and are required to have a total of five references (sources) for your paper.  This means that five references will be on your reference page, and that those five references will be listed in the text of you paper as well.  All sources must either be an academic book or an article published in an academic journal.

Some other issues that need to be discussed are what differences are between developed and undeveloped countries (use percentages), what factors contribute to some countries having a higher prevalence than others.   Please also research what the educational levels are in these countries, what religious views, what awareness programs are present and what attitudes are concerning this problem.    

For your conclusion, you are to imagine yourself as a healthcare administrator or counselor and come up with ideas and initiatives as to how to effectively treat the problem of addiction. 

3.  From that data, you will need to create two bar charts.  The first should compare the total populations of the three countries you chose.  The second should compare the alcoholism rates.   In the chart comparing alcoholism rates, you MUST use percentages so you are comparing to apples to apples.  If you dont find data already in percentages, computing a percentage is fairly straightforward:  Number of alcoholics in the country, divided by the total number of people, multiplied by 100.

Please use ONLY percentages in your charts!

4.  Make sure you double space the paper, use 1 inch margins, and a 12 point font.  Do NOT triple space between paragraphs or under the heading on the first page.  Also put your name, this class title, and the date single spaced in the top left corner. 

Use spell check and grammar check or use the Pearson Writing software to check your paper before turning it in. You can also go to the Writing Center on the 2nd floor of the library to have them check over your paper.  

 5. Do NOT copy and paste in this paper.  Use your own words.  If you want to quote a small portion, you may do so, but be sure to reference this on the Reference page.

6.  The final page should be a Reference page.  The Reference page should have it’s own page and should have the word, References, centered at the top of the page.

7.  Total assignment should be 5 pages: cover page, 2 pages of content, reference page, and your bar charts page.
