Post a draft of your PICOT question. This should be the same question you are using in your research paper. Give and receive feedback to refine your PICOT question.
BELOW IS A SAMPLE OF WHAT SOMEBODY WROTE ON THIS ASSIGNMENT:
My topic is Type 2 diabetes. More than 37 million Americans suffer from this chronic illness, which primarily affects adults over the age of 45 (“Prevent diabetes complications,†2022). Insufficient insulin responsiveness and insulin resistance characterize type 2 diabetes, which makes it difficult to keep blood sugar levels within normal ranges (Breukelman et al., 2018). Obesity, heredity, sedentary lifestyles, and culture have all been linked to type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can be delayed or prevented through diet and exercise, which has been shown to improve blood glucose levels. Uncontrolled glucose is linked to several complications, including retinopathy, neuropathy, chronic kidney disease, amputations, and depression (“Type 2 diabetes,†2022). Increasing activity and altering your diet can lower your risk of comorbidities and complications brought on by this health disparity. Blood glucose monitoring should be done daily, with laboratory tests every three to six months to see how well blood glucose is managed.
POPULATION- Do adults residing in a nursing facility with Type 2 diabetes
INTERVENTION- that exercise and modify their diet as their primary treatment vs
COMPARISON- those who receive drug therapy as a primary treatment
OUTCOME- have better glycemic control as evidenced by Hbg A1c test
TIME- over six months

PICOT Question
The selected topic was type 2 diabetes. The care setting had noticed an increased rate of type 2 diabetes incidences in the area and indicated that the incidences might rise if nothing is done about it. The assumption is that most people lack knowledge regarding diabetes including preventive measures (Correia et al., 2022). Therefore, there is a need to conduct community-based education regarding type 2 diabetes and a healthy lifestyle to reduce the incidences. Diabetes can lead to detrimental health effects on the individual (Rafie et al., 2021). It leads to heart failure, lower limb amputation, and others. Type 2 diabetes is associated with bad signs such as increased thirst, and urination, blurred vision, and tingling sensation (Harris, 2022). Therefore, there is an urgent need to reduce prevalence.
Gutierrez (2020) stated that people of all ages, including children, could be affected by diabetes. However, type 2 diabetes is common among adults. Children can have severe effects if their condition is poorly managed. Type 2 diabetes is the most prevalent type globally (T-Malek & Ahmad, 2022). More than 422 million adults suffer from the disease across the world. Community-based education interventions are effective in preventing type 2 diabetes (Shirvani et al., 2021). Below is the PICOT question that can support the idea.
In patients residing in high prevalence areas (P), what are the impact of community-based diabetes and healthy lifestyle education (I) compared to no education (C) on the disease knowledge and prevalence (O) over six months (T)?
