DrPH Handbook

DrPH Writing Style

The DrPH writing style is guided by the most recent edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA). Aspen University recognizes the 7th edition. The APA writing style is followed consistently throughout the program in matters of form and style. Of critical importance, sources must be cited and properly referenced.

The DrPH Project Manuscript includes a title page, acknowledgements, abstract, table of contents, and list of tables and figures, followed by five distinct chapters:

  • Introduction,
  • Literature Review,
  • Methodology,
  • Results, and
  • Conclusions and Recommendations,
  • Followed by references and appendices.

 

A detailed DrPH Project Manuscript outline is available in the DrPH Lounge.
