7. PROJECT SUMMARY - ABSTRACT Elder mistreatment (EM) is a major public health problem with prevalence estimate ranges from 7.6% to 12.7% among older adults. EM causes serious adverse outcomes for its victims including injury, increased service utilization, mental distress and increased mortality. A major barrier in overcoming EM is the inability to accurately identify EM victims. It is estimated that only 1 in 24 cases become known to authorities. This is problematic as older adults are not likely to report that they are being mistreated. To improve the screening for EM and promote self-disclosure we will study the Feasibility of Virtual cOaching in making Informed Choices on Elder Mistreatment Self-Disclosure (VOICES). The overarching aim of this project is to VOICES that runs on tablets and used by older adult's screen for EM. VOICES will be utilizing virtual coaching, interactive multimedia libraries (e.g. graphics, video clips, animations, etc.), techniques form electronic screening for intimate partner violence, and brief motivational interviewing designed to enhance identifying EM among older adults. Adults with disabilities are at a greater risk of EM compared to those without. This is a population that we would like to include in our research study to help make our tool more inclusive. Our initial concept is to present this tool to older adults age 60+ not hard of hearing or without visual impairments that would prohibit their ability to use an iPad. This supplement request would allow us to increase the scope of the patient population to include adults with disabilities that we could not previously include in our initial study design. Our aims are: 1) To perform a preliminary evaluation of the usability of the VOICES screening tool for older individuals with visual or hearing disabilities; 2) To enhance and refine the interactive VOICES tool to be usable and acceptable for older adults with visual or hearing disabilities.

7. 项目概要 - 摘要 虐待老年人 (EM) 是一个主要的公共卫生问题，患病率估计在 7.6% 至 12.7% 之间 在老年人中。 EM 会给受害者带来严重的不良后果，包括受伤、服务增加 利用率、精神困扰和死亡率增加。克服 EM 的一个主要障碍是无法 准确识别新兴市场受害者。据估计，24 起案件中只有 1 起为当局所知。这是 这是有问题的，因为老年人不太可能报告他们受到虐待。为了改善筛查 EM 并促进自我披露，我们将研究虚拟辅导在做出明智选择方面的可行性 关于虐待老年人的自我披露（VOICES）。该项目的总体目标是让 VOICES 运行 在平板电脑上，并由老年人的 EM 屏幕使用。 VOICES 将利用虚拟辅导、互动 多媒体库（例如图形、视频剪辑、动画等）、电子放映技术 亲密伴侣暴力，以及旨在加强识别老年人中的 EM 的简短动机访谈 成年人。与没有残疾的成年人相比，残疾成年人患 EM 的风险更大。这是一个人口 我们希望将其纳入我们的研究中，以帮助我们的工具更具包容性。我们最初的理念是 向 60 岁以上的老年人提供此工具，他们没有听力障碍或视觉障碍，不会妨碍 他们使用 iPad 的能力。该补充请求将使我们能够扩大患者的范围 人口包括我们以前无法纳入我们最初研究设计的残疾人成年人。我们的 目标是： 1) 对 VOICES 筛查工具对老年人的可用性进行初步评估 有视力或听力障碍的人士； 2) 增强和完善交互式 VOICES 工具 对于有视力或听力障碍的老年人来说是可用且可接受的。
