Abstract
This brief summarizes the main points of a webinar that presents current research on elder abuse among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN). It summarizes findings from multiple studies and surveys, some national and others small and local. The study addressed elder abuse prevalence and type, elder needs, and their use of elder abuse prevention services, or their potential use of such services if they were available. Lastly, some of the studies highlight the importance of using culturally relevant and appropriate measures to assess elder abuse among AI/AN populations, such as using language that is more recognizable to them. See also the full webinar and slideshow. (CVRL Abstract)
