After your **Introduction** page, here’s the usual flow for a formal academic paper or report,

especially for something like your survey analysis:

---

### What typically comes next:

1. **Objectives** (if not included in the Introduction)

* A separate page or section listing your study’s aims clearly.

2. **Literature Review** (if required)

* Summary of related studies and background research.

3. **Methodology (or Methods)**

* Explain how you collected the data (e.g., the FTND and SF-36 surveys), sample size,
sampling method (random sampling of 50 from 577), and how you analyzed it (graphs,
summary stats).

4. **Results**

* Present your findings using tables, graphs, prevalence rates, and descriptive statistics.

5. **Discussion**

* Interpret what the results mean, compare with previous research, discuss implications.

6. **Conclusion**

* Summarize main findings and suggest next steps or recommendations.

7. **References**

* List all sources cited.

8. **Appendices** (if any)

* Additional raw data, survey instruments, etc.

### For your specific task, after the Introduction and Objectives, you’d usually move to:
* **Methodology** — explaining your sample, the surveys (FTND and SF-36), and the analysis
methods (descriptive, exploratory).
