I am having trouble coming up with a topic for an evidence based paper. Any ideas?

Well, what topics are you interested in? Start with that, and then go find the evidence.

You need to go to the library and begin looking at topics that already have printed research available for them. The biggest mistake students make is to pick a topic and then try to find the printed research to support it. Look at what has already been researched first. Ask a research librarian to help you find where to look if you do not know where to start.

I strongly agree with Daytonite. Browse the available literature and assess what topics would make a good choice -- based both on the availabiltiy of research and also considering your interests.
