    The COVID-19 pandemic altered abuse and neglect reporting in vulnerable adults. While nursing home incidents decreased, domestic abuse slightly rose, with more reported cases involving women and psychological harm.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Gerontology
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to the well-being of vulnerable adults.
    • Disruptions in daily life and healthcare access may have impacted the occurrence and reporting of abuse and neglect.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on the reporting of abuse and neglect in vulnerable adults in France.
    • To compare abuse and neglect reporting patterns during the pandemic with pre-pandemic data.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of national alert data from France's Ministry of Solidarity and Health.
    • Comparison of data from March-December 2020 (pandemic period) with the same months in 2017-2019 (pre-pandemic period).
    • Examination of victim demographics, abuse types, perpetrator characteristics, and location.

    Main Results:

    • Abuse and neglect reports from nursing homes decreased by 8% (-111 cases) in 2019-20 compared to previous years.
    • Reports of domestic abuse and neglect saw a slight increase of 1% (+50 cases), following an initial decline.
    • During the pandemic, reported cases more frequently involved women and family members/professionals, with an increase in rights violations and psychological abuse, and a decrease in financial abuse and neglect.

    Conclusions:

    • The COVID-19 pandemic significantly shifted the landscape of reported abuse and neglect among vulnerable adults.
    • Increased domestic incidents and psychological abuse warrant targeted interventions and support systems.
    • Changes in reporting patterns highlight the need for continued monitoring and adaptive strategies to protect vulnerable populations during public health crises.
