My hometown is Tampa, Florida and I am very excited to be presenting here at the annual UROP Symposium to showcase my team and I's research.

Intersectionality Between Workplace Accommodations and Aging

Abstract

This scoping review is investigating the intersectionality between aging workers and workplace accommodations. This review specifically focused on exploring articles written over the past 33 years on four databases. These databases include: Ageline, Scopus, Science Direct, and Social Science Premium collection. The scoping review was conducted on the platform Zotero for easy article access and organization. All duplicated articles were first removed then the articles went through a multiple step screening process; the initial screening included an examination of the title and abstract. Decisions whether or not that article will be included were then made between multiple researchers with specific criteria. Articles were chosen based on the age range, which was individuals older than 50, and whether they specifically related to the research questions. Following the initial review, a secondary examination was conducted and decisions regarding inclusion and exclusion criteria were decided based on the articles entirety. This study is investigating what types of accommodations are being requested as well as different interventions being implemented.
