Risk Factors for Elder Mistreatment Among Older Korean Americans
Using data from a sample of older Korean Americans ( n = 2,150), we examined the prevalence and associated factors of physical, emotional, and financial mistreatment. Given the importance of contextual factors, we examined the effect of immigration-related (years in the U.S. and acculturation) and interpersonal/community-related (family solidarity, social network, and ethnic community social cohesion) factors in addition to sociodemographic and h…
Attitudes Toward Hispanic Immigrants and Immigration Policies in the United States
Hispanic immigrants are the largest immigrant group in the United States. However, conflicting immigration attitudes have stalemated efforts to develop more systematic and effective policies to better incorporate them. Guided by age stratification theory and framing theory, the present study examined the roles of age and framing in attitudes toward Hispanic immigrants and immigration policies. We used an experimental design to embed survey questi…
The Effect of Support From Secondary Caregiver Network on Primary Caregiver Burden
Our findings support the role of SCN in reducing primary caregiver burden and demonstrate that the benefit of SCN support varies across the 4 gender-race groups. The results indicate that it is imperative to further examine caregiving experience and protective mechanisms of SCN support using an intersectional perspective
A comparison of negative financial events experienced by carers and non-carers following onset of the Great Recession
This study compares carers and non-carers on experiences of harmful financial events during and immediately after the Great Recession. Carer status was associated with experiencing more negative financial events since the Great Recession began, even after controlling for covariates in a negative binomial regression. Carers had a higher odds of reporting: job loss, moving in with family and friends to save money, and selling possessions to make en…
The Prevalence of Self-Reported Elder Abuse Among Older Women in Community Settings
The abuse of older women appears to be a significant problem. Developing a better understanding of the extent of the problem is an important step toward preventing it. We conducted a global systematic review and meta-analysis of existing prevalence studies, in multiple languages, that occurred in the community settings from inception to June 26, 2015, in order to determine the extent of abuse against women aged 60 years and over. To disentangle t…
Elder abuse prevalence in community settings
Multicultural voices
Despite international growth in policies to increase the identification and response to elder abuse and neglect, there remain considerable barriers to treating the problem. Some of these barriers may be attributed to how older adults from different racial/ethnic backgrounds define, experience and seek to remedy elder mistreatment. Using focus group discussions based on case vignettes, this paper examines how older adults from different racial and…
Association of Claims-based Quality of Care Measures With Outcomes Among Community-dwelling Vulnerable Elders
BACKGROUND: Few studies examine the link between measured process of care and outcome. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship of claims-based assessment of process of care to subsequent function and survival. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study using claims from 1999 to assess performance on 41 quality indicators (QIs) from the Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders (ACOVE) measurement set on functional decline and death in 2000. SETTING: C…
Measuring the Quality of Care Provided to Dually Enrolled Medicare and Medicaid Beneficiaries Living in Nursing Homes
OBJECTIVES: To adapt the Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders project nursing home (NH) specific quality indicators (QIs), for use with routinely collected data, and to evaluate which clinical conditions and types of care were inadequately measured using these data sources. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Nursing homes. PARTICIPANTS: NH residents 66 years of age and older dually enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid in 19 California count…
Measuring the Quality of Care Provided to Community Dwelling Vulnerable Elders Dually Enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid
CONTEXT: Small studies suggest that the quality of healthcare provided to older patients needs improvement. However, measuring the quality of care for larger groups of older adults is difficult. OBJECTIVE: To measure the quality of care in a community-dwelling vulnerable geriatric population using administrative data to apply quality indicators (QIs) from the Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders project. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Cohort s…
Using Interagency Collaboration to Serve Older Adults With Chronic Care Needs
This article describes the Care Advocate Program, an interagency collaborative effort that involved health care organizations, social service agencies, and an academic research center to improve chronic care service delivery to older adults. The article discusses existing barriers to effective chronic care delivery as well as concepts for successful collaboration. The article describes the multiple and often competing demands of stakeholders who …
Correlates of Open- and Locked-Facility Placement in a Population of Decisionally Impaired Adults
The curvilinear nature of age and the interaction effect of Age x Functioning implies that increasing frailty in older adults makes locked facility-placement less likely. Further research is needed on whether alternative placement types, such as special care units with secured perimeters, can further reduce the need for locked facilities
Designing Service Delivery Systems
Over the last 60 years, interest groups have played an increasingly important role in defining problems and providing solutions to pressing social issues. Through their activities, remarkable improvements have been made in health, welfare, housing, and education of those in need or for whom the mix of public and private services had been inadequate. The variety of services and benefits available to the elderly, in particular, suggests that age-ba…
