Elder Abuse and Its Consequences: Findings from Waves I and II of the National Elder Mistreatment Study
Wednesday, February 3, 2021
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST
REGISTER NOW
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4165206644378413068
This presentation will discuss, in broad strokes, findings from Wave I of the NEMS, which centered on answering the questions "how often" and "with what risk factors;" as well as findings from Wave II eight years later, which focused on the questions "what are the consequences" and "for whom." Specifically, the prevalence of different types of elder mistreatment and risk factors for each type will be discussed in the context of outcomes of abuse and protective factors. This discussion should illustrate some steps communities and community based workers can take to both prevent elder abuse, and if elder abuse occurs, prevent or at least limit its negative consequences.
Presenter:
Ron Acierno, Phd
Director, Trauma and Resilience Center & Vice Chair for Veterans Affairs
Faillace Department of Psychiatry, University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston.
Dr. Ron Acierno is a professor and vice chair of Veterans Affairs in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. He also serves as the Executive Director of the UTHealth Trauma and Resilience Center (TRC). Dr. Acierno has two related but distinct research foci: epidemiological studies of elder mistreatment and treatment outcome studies, focusing on victims of trauma, disaster, combat or loss. He has served as Principal Investigator on grants from NIA, NIMH, NIJ, the Department of Defense, The Department of Veterans Affairs, the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, the Archstone Foundation, and the Retirement Research Foundation. Thus Dr. Acierno mixes epidemiological research with treatment outcome research, and keeps close to the clinical world as a clinician-administrator for treatment programs serving both civilian and military traumatized populations. Dr. Acierno has also been recognized for his personal investment in the mentoring of others, with over 20 current faculty researchers across the country having worked alongside him in his lab over the years. Dr. Acierno has over 150 published articles and 30 book chapters, and has served on the Editorial Boards of several journals. In addition, he is a member of several grant review committees for the VA, NIH, and DoD. Finally, he has worked on special expert panels in the areas of elder abuse for the CDC, the WHO, and the NIJ.
This webinar is open to NAPSA members and nonmembers.
There is no charge for this webinar. Sorry, CEUs are not available.
