II– Introduction
• What is your proposed research topic?
• What is your research problem? (research problem statement)

1. To know the prevalence of NCD in Central Luzon, Philippines based on reproductive age group (20-40 y/0)
2. To know the reproductive morbidity and mortality in Central Luzon fro 2005-2015
3. To determine if there is an association between reproductive morbidity and later onset of

   elements)
   • What is the significance of your research and its potential findings to international health?
   III – Literature Review
   • What major studies on the research topic have been previously been done? What is the current
   knowledge saying about the research problem?

   • What are the approaches you will use in your study and why were these chosen?
   • Situate the scope of the proposed study, its contribution and limitations in relation to other studies
   that have been done previously.

   V – Conclusion
   This section should be brief, 2-3 paragraphs long, to reiterate the significance and relevance of the
   research problem, the potential contribution of your research to international health, and how the
   findings can be used in practice or to advance existing knowledge. (Tip: Remember “Kinney’s Three
   Paragraphs” – “What is the question?”, “Why is it important?”, and “How are you going to address
   it?”) VI. Bibliography
