Access Course Last Unit- help!

I have under a month to consolidate all my work and get it sorted. Talk about stressful! And on top of it all, I just discovered I'm 6 months pregnant. I was sort of waivering at the though of uni and what I wanted to do next, but my situation has completely compounded my desire to continue with FE.

Our last task is a research project, and we have just been given a new teacher who is very laid back and has basically just said "its up to you, choose what you like". A lot of people have complained about his teaching or lack of, I don't have a problem, I just have a problem decided what I am going to do! At first I thought of long winded things like concentration of Hep C virus in counties across the UK and then look at things such as how much money the local PCT spends on harm reduction, hep c education blah blah but it was hard to get information and stats on this, and i think it was far too ambitious.

1. Design & Conduct a small piece of sociological research on an area of Health & Illness of your choice.
we then have to obviously apply two sociological theories to said piece of research to help explain the findings.

Anybody got any good ideas for a topic? I thought about doing Drug Use according to Social Class but I don't know where on earth to get stats on this. I need a topic where info is easily accessible.

And for said topic, what two sociological approaches should i use to compare how they might be applied to an area of health & illness?


Thank you in advance; from a very lost, worried, panic-stricken access student

how many interviews did you conduct? and do you take stats from elsewhere to show whether your results support them? was yours at a-level as well?
