Identify a significant aspect related to their sexuality/intimacy (e.g., loneliness, widowhood, caregiving). Relate this aspect to theoretical knowledge you have gained throughout the course. Find three new (from the last five years) additional peer-reviewed academic articles (not used in this course) that speak to the issue you have identified. List three specific suggestions regarding ways in which the person and the social environment can improve the current situation related to intimacy and sexuality.
Describe what you have learned in 500 words (not including the cover page and the reference list). Write in full sentences (not in point form). Do not give your opinion without supporting it with reference to course material or to additional academic sources or grey literature from reputable professional organizations from the gerontological literature.
