| Annotation | This article provides an overview of elder abuse screening and detection methods for community-dwelling and institutionalised older adults, including general issues and challenges for the field. Next, discussions of applications in emergency geriatric care, intimate partner violence (IPV), and child abuse are presented to inform research opportunities in elder abuse screening. The article provides descriptions of emerging screening and detection methods and technologies from the emergency geriatric care and IPV fields. The authors also discuss the variety of potential barriers to effective screening and detection from the viewpoint of the older adult, caregivers, providers, and the health care system. They highlight the potential harms and unintended negative consequences of increased screening and mandatory reporting. They argue that research should continue on the development of valid screening methods and tools, but that studies of perceived barriers and potential harms of elder abuse screening among key stakeholders should also be conducted.
