Abstract/Description

This panel will present findings from research and evaluation studies of elder abuse/fraud prevention and intervention programs. Specifically, this panel will highlight rigorous evaluations of the impacts of: 1) a mailed intervention used by the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) to reduce rates of repeat victimization by mass marketing fraud; 2) a 12-week home-visiting program focused on older adult resilience; and 3) a community-based financial mistreatment prevention model for older adults living with dementia. Discussion will include policy and practice implications for efforts to effectively address elder abuse and fraud.
