Sources & Citations
You should identify at least three of your own sources to support your responses. This does not include your textbook. You should cite your textbook if you rely on it for your responses, but it does not count as one of your three sources. Government websites, professional associations, and health policy groups are great sources of information. Avoid unknown sources of information that may not be credible or reliable.
Using in text citations is required in addition to your list of sources at the end. Review APA format if you are not sure how to cite a source. Here is a resource on citing Internet sources. https://poorvucenter.yale.edu/writing/using-sources/citing-internet-sources
