Health Care Interview Paper – 35 points
The goal of this assignment is for each student to explore how "real people" access health care and how this might have changed over time. Interview 3 separate individuals representing three generations (parents, grandparents, your generation or your children’s generation) and learn how they:
· accessed health care
· paid for health care
· where they received their health care
· how they viewed their health care and health care providers
· what changes they have seen in the health care system
· any other facts or information you obtain from the interviewees
In your conclusion, provide a summary of the similarities and differences noted between the generations.
This paper should be about 3-5 pages in length with appropriate referencing and in APA format. This assignment is due in Week 3.
The sources you will be citing will be the people you interviewed. If you use direct quotes, you are to cite the source immediately following the sentence it was used in. Also, you are required to have a works cited page with your source information.
Citations for Interviews and Personal Communication
Personal interviews and personal communications (email, group discussions, electronic bulletin boards, telephone conversations) are NOT mentioned at the end of the paper on the list of references. However, they are cited in-text throughout the paper.
For personal communication, you should give the author's full name ( first and middle initials followed by last name ), the kind of communication, followed by the date of communication.
Example: (J.L. Smith, personal interview, April 10, 2006)
