Brief Summary:
The project is to build multi-sector and multi-institutional partnerships to test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a pilot surveillance camera intervention (N=10) to reduce the frequency and severity of abuse, exploitation, and neglect in community older adults.
Detailed Description:
This a feasibility investigation that aims to conduct an 8-week pilot RCT (N=10 total) to test the potential effectiveness of a surveillance intervention to reduce frequency and severity of elder abuse among older populations. Eligible participants will be recruited from community-dwelling populations in which an older adult victim has experienced elder abuse (abuse, exploitation, neglect) according to New Jersey APS referrals or our screening. With informed written consent, participants will be evenly randomized into one of three conditions: camera, mock camera, and control (usual care).
Primary outcomes are elder abuse cases including psychological, physical, sexual abuse, financial exploitations, caregiver neglect, and self-neglect measured by 83 items. For psychological and physical abuse, we use eight items and ten items from a modified Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS).46-53. Sexual abuse will be assessed by a question asking about experiences of being touched in private areas when unwanted. Financial exploitation will be assessed by the 17-item Financial Exploitation Scale, adapted from Conrad et al in a study funded by the Department of Justice.54 Caregiver neglect will be assessed by 20 items of unmet needs in key activities of daily living among individuals living with at least one person.35,55 Self-neglect was assessed by a widely used and validated measurement56,57.The measurement was reviewed by a community advisory board of over 20 community organizations led by a geriatrician and has shown good contend, convergent58, and predictive validity59.
