Information comes in print, electronic, multimedia, and human forms.
All research requires one or more of these kinds of information. At this point, you look at the results of step one, Task Definition , and decide what type of information you need. Following our previous example for depression and teenagers, we now look at the type of information needed. Background information will provide a general overview, some definitions, and perhaps some information about current research. If background information does not have what we need, we can consult resources with in-depth information.
