The final project for this course consists of a critical analysis that addresses a contemporary issue in addictions related to a substance or behavior, based on traditional models and theories of addiction. This analysis will demonstrate your ability to integrate scholarly research with addiction theory. Ideally, the issue selected should be professionally interesting and meaningful to you, and it should be directly applicable to the critical elements listed in the prompt. You will evaluate the issue using research in peer-reviewed psychology journals, as well as addictions- and health-related journals, to evaluate claims regarding the validity, reliability, ethics, and broader implications of the issue from multiple perspectives and stakeholders.

For example, consider that a current issue in the field of addictions is the impact of methamphetamine. Your analysis could focus on how this substance has challenged society on every level, ranging from medicine to law enforcement, and it is challenging traditional and current models of addictions.
