Considerations for building a research question:

  1. What is the broad topic? (Problem)
    • Ex. clean drinking water
  2. Who does it impact? Or who could it impact? (Population)
    • Everyone, so I am not too picky here. But maybe later I may want to be more specific, i.e. children
  3. What about it? (Control)
    • Policy changes
  4. When does this matter? At what time are you interested in this topic? (Time)
    • Last five years
  5. Where do you want to focus? (Location)
    • Flint Michigan

What policies have been made in response to the water crisis in Flint, Michigan to ensure clean drinking water for the citizens? What future policies should be considered?
