| Annotation | Generally, American research on elder abuse has focused on older people in mainstream United States (US) so that little is known about the nature and scope of elder abuse occurring in the Vietnamese community. This study presents the results of a research project on the relationship of Vietnamese older people residing in Santa Clara County, California, and their families. It also explores cultural factors that may be associated with mistreatment of older people such as issues of dependency and personal indebtedness. The implications for intervention and prevention are discussed, along with proposed changes in human service programmes that could enhance the well-being of Vietnamese older people. (AKM). |
