Implementation of mental health policies and plans across the WHO European region
Mental health policies and plans (MHPPs) are powerful tools developed to facilitate real-world changes in mental-health-related prevention, promotion and treatment. This study examined barriers and facilitators to MHPP implementation across the WHO European region. Key informants from 53 countries were contacted and 25 provided in-depth qualitative interviews on MHPP existence, implementation, and evaluation related barriers and facilitators of i…
The impact of Covid-19 and associated measures on health, police, and non-government organisation service utilisation related to violence against women and children
The variation across sectors in changes in VAWC service utilisation has important implications for policymakers in the event of ongoing and future restrictions related to COVID-19, and more generally during other times of prolonged presence in the home. The increased global attention on VAWC during the pandemic should be used to drive forward the agenda on prevention, increase access to services, and implement better data collection mechanisms to…
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
Using Latent Class Analysis to Identify Profiles of Elder Abuse Perpetrators
This is the first quantitative study to identify and characterize abuser subtypes. Tailored interventions are needed to reduce problem behaviors and enhance strengths specific to each abuser profile
A Comparative Study on the Effect of Housing Characteristics and Living Arrangements on Well-Being of Immigrant and Non-Immigrant Older Adults in Canada
Based on analyses of three national datasets, this study explored differences in the housing (e.g., homeownership, living arrangement, size, crowding, modification, etc.) and self rated well-being characteristics (physical and mental health, life satisfaction) of immigrant versus non-immigrant older adults in Canada. The variables selected for the analyses in each dataset were slightly different based on their availability in the datasets. Findin…
Is Ageism in University Students Associated With Elder Abuse
Research indicates that in comparison to middle aged adults, young adults exhibit higher levels of ageist attitudes toward older persons and that elder abuse is increasing. This study examines proclivity of elder abuse by young adults enrolled in a postsecondary institution. A total of 206 university students completed questionnaires on attitudes toward older persons and their proclivity to elder abuse. Results indicate that student attitudes are…
