Introduction – Introduce the reader to your topic and give a purpose for the paper.
Topic Description/Review of Literature- give the reader an understandable explanation of the condition. Discuss both prevalence (how common is it, differences among men vs. women, urban vs. rural, ethnic differences, young old vs. old-old, etc.) and relevance (why should the reader care about this topic?). Include possible causes of the condition and effects as well.
Theory - describe a theory of aging related to the condition. If the theory does not cover all aspects of the condition, state where it fails to cover salient points.
Resources (for those experiencing the condition and/or for their family/caregivers where they would go in the community)should include 2 subheadings:
Local Resources (total of 3)– medical and/or social services that specialize in the care of the condition. Be specific with the names of the facilities and what services are provided within a drivable/public transportation distance for older individuals. Make sure to cite your sources in APA format.
Internet Resources (total of 3)– find medical, social, and support group information for individuals and families. Evaluate each source including accessibility of site, ease of understanding, ease of navigation, cost associated with using site, helpfulness of information, availability to proposed reader such as age of reader, family members.
Internet resources could include:
- .com website – may be a commercial site of a product or service
- .edu website – research related to the condition. Avoid those sites attached to a college or university class
- .org website – usually a non-profit organization that focuses on the condition. Some of these sites are extensive, so pick one section and summarize what is available to the reader

Side note: I live in Puyallup Wa so the local resource should reflect the city.
