Scenario
Your executive director has tasked you with conducting some preliminary research on an emerging and perhaps even controversial topic in your field. These findings will be organized for discussion at the next board of directors meeting in order to assess whether or not funding should be allocated for further study. You received little direction on what types of sources are expected, so you decide to begin the project by evaluating a variety of resources to determine how best to inform your project.
Topic: What is normal emotional health and mental functioning?
Research should have information on the topic research question.
