Create a summary report/briefing paper to provide information quickly and effectively focused on family disruption among school aged children related to divorce, separation, or loss of a primary caregiver in Edmonton.
Students will find, gather, and report on information from a variety of sources (academic sources and grey literature) to inform relevant stakeholders about key research findings and considerations on this topic. Although not limited to the following, the report is to include: a) key background and contextual information about the social issue (students can include information Edmonton, Alberta and Canada for broader context); b) information on (i) the percentage/number of families that have experienced family disruption related to divorce, separation, or loss of a primary caregiver in Edmonton and Alberta, and (ii) how many of these families have children and, if so, what are the ages of the children. c) an infographic that presents key background and contextual and demographic information quickly and clearly about the topic in an accessible and visually appealing way.
