Contents of An Introduction
The introduction of a research paper justifies the research project. It shows why the research is important by delineating the aspects the paper seeks to tackle. Among the elements that should be included in the introduction is an overview/background of the topic (Ellis, 2020). This section should brief the reader on existing positions and issues on this topic. Another element should be relevant statistics on the subject matter. These figures should help the reader to visualize the validity of the existing positions and issues. The writer should then state what the current paper seeks to add to existing research on the subject matter. This statement is in the form of a purpose statement. Also included is the paper outline. The outline indicates how the paper will be organized. Sometimes, a brief about methodology and design is also included. Methodology and design describe how the writer will approach the topic. To capture the attention of the reader, the writer should also include a hook (Ellis, 2020). The hook is usually in the form of a rhetorical question, a story, or a brief case study. At the end of the introductory paragraph, the writer should have a thesis statement. The thesis statement gives their position on the subject matter and the evidence supporting this position.
Evaluation of An Introduction: Falls After Hospital Discharge: A Randomized Clinical Trial of Individualized Multimodal Falls Prevention Education
The introduction to the article above starts by giving the statistics related to falls and the groups affected. It then gives the adverse effects of falls and limitations of existing interventions to prevent them: mixed outcomes. The article then identifies gaps in existing research: limited application of behavioral change interventions (Hill et al., 2019). The authors then give an overview of systematic reviews and clinical trials that have been done on this subject, including their strengths and weaknesses. They then provide the focus of their study: fall prevention after hospital discharge (Hill et al., 2019). The authors then justify their research by noting that there exists poor attention to falls after hospital discharge. They identify their research approach as multimedia education. They justify this approach by arguing that a pilot study on the same produced satisfactory results.
Evaluating this introduction, it covers a bulk of elements that should be contained in this section of a research paper. What misses is the thesis statement, the hook, and the paper outline. Regarding methodology and design, the authors include them but as separate sections from the introduction. This decision is acceptable since most papers include methodology and research design as separate sections from the introduction.
The PICOT Question
A PICOT question guides the inquiry of a health practitioner. This guiding question ensures that all the relevant research steps are followed for effective and quality results. Population (P) refers to the group of interest. This group may be the one being studied in systematic reviews or the one receiving an intervention in clinical trials. Intervention (I) refers to the health care practice being used. It ranges from drugs, questionnaires, interviews, and examinations. Comparison (C) refers to the benchmark that is used to gauge the effectiveness of the intervention. It is used to determine whether the intervention is better or worse. Outcome (O) is the expected results after applying the intervention. The nature of the results determines whether the intervention is effective or not. Time (T) refers to the duration of the intervention. Time shows how responsive the intervention is.

The Introduction
What should be included in an introductory paragraph of the research paper?
The introduction portion of research is a section that sets a stage for the study and provides vital information to the reader. The introduction section of the research and manuscript is important in sharing ideas about research. This section guides the reader, narrows down the topic, defines the study scope, and establishes the study’s background and significance. If written successfully, the introduction stimulates the reader’s appetite and acts as a guide for the remainder of the work (Fried et al., 2019). The introduction section of a study consists of a presentation of the study topic. The introduction section should start with a broad topic perspective and gradually focus on the subject matter.
The second component of the introduction paragraph of the research is a review and conclusions of the previous study related to the topic. Literature review provides background information and contextualizes the current study within existing research. The introduction establishes the rationale for the research paper. It establishes the connection between the study topic and relevant theories, demonstrating why the research is important and necessary. Other components of the introduction section of a research paper include an outline of the methodology employed in the study, an explanation of the approach taken to achieve the research goals and an address of the research questions. The section includes a clear thesis statement that encapsulates the main argument or purpose of the paper (Perez et al., 2020). It further outlines the subsequent sections of the research paper, giving the reader a preview of what will be covered in the study.
Select an introduction from scholarly, peer-reviewed research, and appraise the introduction to assess whether it includes the necessary elements of an introduction. Why and why not?
The study I chose focuses on screening for depression in primary care settings using the PHQ-9 screening tool. It is an example of a typical study that applied the different components of an introduction section of research. The researcher defined depression and described it as a leading cause of disability. The researchers overview different guidelines and research that provide evidence for using PHQ-9 as a reliable screening tool. They further state the methodology they used to conduct the study. The researchers state that they reviewed evidence from different databases such as MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library to assess the research problem and develop the study outcome (Costantini et al., 2020). A proper research introduction should include the method used when carrying out a study. This criterion was met in the study, and it was also indicated that the study is the first to investigate how screening using PHQ-9 has been implemented in the primary healthcare setting (Grove and Gray, 2019). The research aim is well stated since the researchers stated that they intended to investigate the use of the screening tool in a primary setting.
How does PICOT help form a clinical question? Use Box 2.2 in your textbook to discuss population, intervention, comparison intervention, and outcome and how this process helps the student arrive at a quality clinical question.
A PICOT is a mnemonic derived from the components of a research question that include the patient or the population, intervention, comparison, outcome, and time. According to Grove and Gray (2019), developing a PICOT question starts with identifying a problem, also referred to as the needs of a population. It includes the sample of participants you hope to enlist for your study. An example is advanced practice registered nurses who are facing retirement. The common denominator for them would be their age and the fact that they are looking to retire. The next step is identifying action, treatment, or diagnostic tool, referred to as the intervention. For example, the study I chose, used the PHQ-9 tool to screen for depression. The next letter is “C” which is a comparison that will be used to contrast your therapy intervention with. The letter “O” is based on the desired or expected outcome. In my article of choice, it was said that this study is the first to investigate the implementation of PHQ-9 screening in a primary healthcare context. The final step is setting the duration that the outcome of the intervention is evaluated and combining the five components to come up with one research question (Grove and Gray, 2019). Developing a PICOT question aims to improve the search for a solution to a clinical problem and develop evidence for the problem.
