This guide is for HLTH 252 Week 7 Multimedia Research Project, start to submission. A 13 to 15-slide PowerPoint on a specific drug: general information, then prevention of abuse, with at least 5 scholarly references.
HLTH 252 is Drugs in Society, 3 credit hours, in Liberty University's BS in Public Health. Canvas and the course guide file print the code as HLTH252; it is the same course.

What HLTH 252 Week 7 Multimedia Research Project asks for
As a culminating project, you incorporate what you learned into a 13 to 15-slide PowerPoint on a specific drug of your choice.

Where it fits in HLTH 252
In the published schedule, Multimedia Research Project is one of 9 graded written assignments in HLTH 252. It follows Week 7 Discussion Board Forum 5 and comes before Week 8 Discussion Board Forum 6. The same week also has Discussion Board Forum 5, so plan the week's writing together.
How HLTH 252 Week 7 Multimedia Research Project is graded
Liberty grades Multimedia Research Project with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 100 points in the published guide. That is about 10% of the course's 1,010 points. Read the rubric first. Each row is a criterion, and the wording of the highest column is the closest thing you have to a model answer.
Course grades in HLTH 252 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 900 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week (except Module/Week 1) begins on Tuesday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Monday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The HLTH 252 Week 7 method, step by step
Plan the talk before the slides
Decide what the audience should know or do at the end, and outline the talk around that. The slides come last.
One idea per slide
Each slide carries one point, stated in its title. Short lines, readable type, no paragraphs on the slide.
Put the evidence where it is used
Meet the source requirement (At least 5 scholarly references) with citations on the slides themselves, plus a final references slide in current APA.
Write speaker notes or a script
Script the talk slide by slide. If the guide asks for voiceover or notes, the analysis lives there.
Rehearse to the time limit
Record a practice run and time it. Cut slides rather than speeding up; a rushed recording hides the points you worked on.
Check the technical requirements
Before submitting, check the slide count and timing (13 to 15 slides), that audio plays, and that the link or file opens for someone else.
A structure for HLTH 252 Week 7 Multimedia Research Project
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,200 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| The drug | Class, forms, legal status. | ~170 words |
| Effects and risks | How it works; short- and long-term harms. | ~260 words |
| Who uses it | Prevalence and risk groups. | ~190 words |
| Prevention | Evidence-based prevention at individual, school and community levels. | ~430 words |
| References | At least 5 in APA. | ~140 words |
A topic angle that works
Spend at least a third of the slides on prevention, since the guide makes prevention the focus. Organize it by level (individual, family, school, community, policy) and name programs with evidence.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
School-based prevention works best when it builds skills rather than only warning. Programs such as LifeSkills Training, which teach refusal skills and correct the belief that most peers use drugs, have reduced substance use in randomized trials.1 For vaping, pairing such programs with smoke-free school policies and limits on flavored products gives students fewer chances and fewer reasons to start.2
- A named, evidence-based program.
- Skills over warnings.
- Policy combined with education.
Mistakes that cost points on HLTH 252 Week 7
- Mostly pharmacology with little prevention.
- Outside 13 to 15 slides.
- Fewer than 5 scholarly references.
