Identity theft victimization is associated with serious physical and mental health morbidities. The problem expanding as society becomes increasingly reliant on technology to store transfer personally identifying information. Guided by lifestyle-routine activity theory, this study sought identify risk protective factors identity determine whether individual-level behaviors, including frequency of online purchasing data protection practices, are determinative victimization. Data from...
This qualitative study used the long interview method with Canadian mothers of African and Caribbean descent to understand underresearched experience raising a child sickle cell disease (SCD). Mothers' realities were explored through three levels social organization: daily caregiver coping (micro level); community views SCD, such as stigma (meso systemic SCD health care provision (macro level). Through use population structural work perspectives, mothers' experiences examined in context...
This study introduces a conceptually based, systematic evaluation process employing multivariate techniques to evaluate multidisciplinary social work–lawyer intervention model (JASA-LEAP). Logistic regression analyses were used with random sample of case records (n = 250) from three sites. Client retention, program fidelity, and exposure services significantly related reduction in mistreatment risk at closure.

Community-based elder mistreatment response programs (EMRP), such as adult protective services, that are responsible for directly addressing abuse and neglect under increasing pressure with greater reporting/referrals nationwide. Our knowledge understanding of effective interventions represents a major gap in the EM literature. At center this is lack theory or conceptual models to help guide EMRP research practice. This article develops practice model community-based EMRPs work cognitively...
This article provides an overview of the development a research agenda on resident-to-resident aggression (RRA) in long-term care facilities by expert panel researchers and practitioners. A 1-day consensus-building workshop using modified Delphi approach was held to gain consensus nomenclature operational definition for RRA, identify RRA priorities, develop roadmap future these priorities. Among six identified terms literature, selected. The top five priorities were: (a) developing/assessing...
Elder abuse (EA) case resolution is contingent upon victims accepting and pursuing protective service interventions. Refusal/underutilization of services a major problem.

This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows: to produce mega-map which identifies, maps and provides visual interactive display, based on reviews all main aspects of elder abuse in both community institutions, such residential long-term care institutions.
Elder mistreatment is an epidemic with significant consequences to victims. Little known, however, about another affected group: nonabusing family members, friends, and neighbors in the lives of older victim or "concerned persons."

Data were collected from a nationally representative...
Despite a growing number of elder abuse (EA) cases nationwide, response programs such as adult protective services (APS) lack defined, prolonged intervention phase to address these complex situations. This article presents RISE, model EA that works alongside APS or other systems interact with at-risk older adults. Informed by an ecological-systems perspective and adapting evidence-based modalities from fields (including motivational interviewing, teaming, restorative justice, goal attainment...
Abstract Background and Objectives Few elder abuse (EA) victims ever seek or receive assistance from formal support services designed to mitigate risk harm of revictimization. This study examined whether the presence third-party “concerned persons” in victims’ personal social networks plays a role enabling service utilization. Research Design Methods A representative population-based survey administered adults (n = 800) New York State identified 83 EA cases past year. Penalized likelihood...
A focus of community-based elder abuse response programs (EARP), such as Adult Protective Services, is to reduce the risk revictimization among substantiated victims. While (EA) factor research has predominantly focused on understanding initial EA onset general older adult population, victims weak. This study sought identify conditions that perpetuate Data were collected from multiple sources: groups with multidisciplinary teams (n = 35), team case evaluations 10), and reviewing a random...
