Abstract:
Elder abuse intervention outcomes vary across studies and are inconsistently operationalized and measured. Majority of elder abuse intervention outcomes are attached to the victim or intervention process itself. Need for further outcomes attached to perpetrator, victim-perpetrator relationship, and family, home, and social systems. Need to examine elder abuse intervention process outcomes as mediators or moderators of successful case outcomes. Need to establish common set of elder abuse intervention outcomes to facilitate data synthesis/comparison in future studies (Author Text)
