| Annotation | The decision-making process of Adult Protective Service (APS) workers is under-explored in the field of elder abuse. Yet it is critical in assuring the protection of older people from physical abuse. This article identifies 10 major factors used by APS workers in New Hampshire (NH) when intervening in substantial cases of elder physical abuse. The qualitative methodological framework used a literature review, two focus groups, 15 individual face-to-face interviews, and a modified Delphi method of analysis. The findings identify the strengths and flaws in the decisional process, and suggestions for further studies. (RH). |
