The focus of your Seminar Paper will usually reflect your professional setting and/or interest in public health and health promotion and will demonstrate your ability to critically evaluate and examine:

the context in which evidence-based public health and health promotion practice takes place;
the process of systematically reviewing and questioning public health and health promotion practice;
ways of finding and accessing the evidence on which to base public health and health promotion practice;
integrating quantitative and qualitative evidence;
pre-requisites for integrating evidence into practice;
the relationship between evidence-based practice and professional roles and responsibilities;
good practices in implementing evidence-based practice.

Consequently, in your Seminar Paper you are required to:

critically evaluate the wider context in which evidence based practice in public health and health promotion takes place;
review an area of your practice or an issue in public health and health promotion of interest to you and identify a problem, preferably located within the behavioural change approach to public health and health promotion;
reflect on the problem and develop an appropriate EBP question;
identify, search for and locate the type(s) of evidence most suitable to answer your question;
critically appraise the evidence found and draw conclusions from this to inform practice;
make recommendations about how you might implement your findings and how you evaluate the effectiveness of such implementation.

In Term 1 you are required to prepare your EBQ for the Seminar Paper, with the help of student study groups and guidance and feedback from the tutors. All EBQs need to be submitted for agreement by: December 6^th 2016. You will be expected to present verbally, and in written format, ideas and arguments that are rigorous, analytical and critical in approach. A descriptive, general or complacent approach is not useful.
