Theroretical Framework--How to introduce in paper?

[lcwiney]

I am writing my scholarly project paper on the risk for hyperlipidemia in high school students and am utilizing Orem's Self Care Deficit Theoretical Framework. My question is, how do I introduce to use of this theoretical framework into my paper? According to the requirements there is a section listed "Theoretical Framework" I know that I am not supposed to just enter a sentence stating..."i utilized ...framework"...right? if you can provide an example please do so.

Thanks!

In my experience, people usually just launch into a summary of the theory (that they're using) and then move into how the theory applies to the specific research question. You don't have to write "I'm using such & such theory" because that is evident from you describing it.
