| Annotation | The results are summarised of a 1997 survey of 395 adult protection service workers in 43 US states, that produced records of the helpfulness of 17 occupational groups in the detection of cases of elder abuse and neglect. Data are also presented on ratings of the overall awareness of public and professional workers about elder abuse and neglect, and on efforts to improve awareness of these forms of mistreatment of older people. Findings suggest that many occupational groups were more helpful in detecting elder abuse and neglect in the late 19990s than was the case at earlier points in time. (RH). |
