Reaction Papers (15% total; 5% each; 3 papers). Students are required to write three Reaction Papers, each based on a current local or national news event that you think is relevant to substance use/misuse, mental health, and/or co-occurring disorders. The Instructor is lenient in what he will allow your chosen topic to be, and the purpose of these papers is to stimulate your thoughtfulness of how behavioral health conditions exist, relate to, and/or affect society. Students are responsible for identifying the news stories, events, articles, etc. on their own and should not ask the Instructor for ideas/leads/examples at the last minute, or during the week in which the assignment is due. If such requests for ideas are sent to the Instructor, then they should be made well in advance of the week in which the assignment is due.
