| Annotation | This study examines and compares the awareness of formal and informal sources of help for victims of elder abuse and the factors that might influence this awareness in a sample of 95 Korean American and 90 Caucasian elders. Overall, Korean American respondents were significantly less aware of the four general and specific sources of help measured-general formal and informal sources, the Elder Abuse Hotline, and the Adult Protective Services (APS). Ethnicity and income are shown to be significant predictors of respondents' awareness of available help. The implications of the study results for strategies for early intervention and prevention of elder abuse are also discussed. (RH). |
