A new screening tool was developed to help Adult Protective Services (APS) identify undue influence in elder abuse cases. This tool, the California Undue Influence Screening Tool (CUIST), aims to aid APS personnel in their assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Social Work
  • Gerontology
  • Legal Studies

Background:

  • Undue influence poses a significant threat to vulnerable adults, particularly elders.
  • Existing legal definitions of undue influence, such as California's 2014 law, necessitate practical assessment tools for protective services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and pilot a screening tool for identifying undue influence.
  • To support California's Adult Protective Services (APS) personnel in their casework.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of social service resources and existing models of undue influence.
  • Conducting focus groups with APS providers (n=33).
  • Piloting the tool with APS personnel (n=15) and interviewing elder abuse experts and APS administrators.
