Need to Refine? Just Ask Questions!
But limit yourself to a few.
WHO Who is involved? Whom does it affect? Is there a specific population you want to focus on? Identify the stakeholders and their opinions.
WHAT What is the issue or problem? Consider the “so what” of your topic. Why should it matter to others?
WHERE Where did it begin? Is there a geographic location you want to focus on?
HOW How does one aspect of your topic affect another? How serious is the issue/problem?
