    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Social Work
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • A significant number of clients in intensive case management programs have experienced undetected physical and sexual abuse.
    • This highlights a critical gap in identifying and addressing elder maltreatment within existing support systems.
    • Florida has a substantial population of elders, with an estimated 90,000 experiencing maltreatment annually.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop, implement, and evaluate an elder abuse and neglect prevention program in Florida.
    • To assess the program's effectiveness in improving the identification and reporting of elder maltreatment among various professional groups.
    • To address the need for enhanced educational programming and awareness regarding mandatory reporting laws for elder abuse.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and implementation of a specialized elder abuse and neglect prevention program.
    • Administration of an assessment instrument to 142 participants before and after the program.
    • Analysis of pre- and post-program scores to evaluate improvements in knowledge and identification skills.

    Main Results:

    • Case managers demonstrated the most significant improvement in mean scores after participating in the program.
    • Pre-program scores indicated a need for further education, with some participants initially unaware of mandatory reporting requirements.
    • Almost one-fifth of participants initially failed to recognize mandatory reporting laws for elder maltreatment in their state.

    Conclusions:

    • The elder abuse and neglect prevention program showed positive results, particularly for case managers.
    • There is a continuing and substantial need for educational initiatives to improve elder maltreatment identification and reporting.
    • Enhanced training is crucial to ensure all professionals are aware of and comply with mandatory reporting obligations for elder abuse and neglect.
