Student Sample Introductory Paragraph
African American, American Indian, and Alaska Native women are up to three times more likely to die
from adverse pregnancy related outcomes, a disparity that increases with age (Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, 2019). Researchers found a program which provided support to African American
women through group trainings, entailing of stress reduction techniques, life skills development, and the
building of social support. This enabled mitigation efforts to be focused and geared around the factors that
influence and contributed to adverse pregnancy outcomes among the minority women within the
community, thus reducing and preventing negative pregnancy outcomes in women of color.
In the United States, maternal mortality and adverse health outcomes persist within the minority
community, and as a result, racial disparities in healthcare among pregnant women is a current
preventable public health concern, therefore it is vital to understand the determinants of health that
influences negative pregnancy related outcomes in minority women, similar to one of California’s
intervention programs, the Black Infant Health Program (Nichols and Cohen, 2019).

The Thesis Statement
Your thesis statement is the driving force of your paper based on research, and containing
no opinions or generic and broad advice, but it should contain your stance on the topic
(based on research). In other words, you need to justify your stance based on research.
General Formula
Topic + your stance on the topic + why this is your stance supported by
research (citation) = your thesis statement
***Important***
Certain things can change in the general formula
based on what your professor asks. This is why it
is so important to read directions very carefully.
KG 604: Steps to the Thesis
Since your directions say you must make a recommendation based on research, that recommendation
becomes your stance. Follow the steps below to help form your thesis statement:
1. Restate the Problem with citation
2. Isolate and name the company/organization/program/policy and state why it works, with
citation
Sample Thesis Statements
Research examples to illustrate the points above.
3. Connect #2 to your population or location and write your recommendation
It is recognized that the most effective means of mitigating information security risks within

Food fraud refers to the deliberate alteration of food, related ingredients, or packaging, as well as the creation of false or deceptive assertions about a product in order to profit financially (Spink & Moyer, 2011, as cited in Levy, 2020). This fraud can cause damage to consumers’ health, or can affect entire supply chains (Northern District of Iowa, 2019). Food fraud has been found in the research and in (popular press/relevant journals) to be a threat to public health as well as to the economy.
