Project Sponsor/ Title: NIH/ Daily Dynamics and Long-Term Trajectories of Elder Abuse and Neglect in the Family Caregiving
Award Amount: $1,504,442 Project Period: 09/01/2018 – 04/30/2022
This project will examine the nature and the timing of risk and protective factors for elder abuse and neglect, as they occur in the everyday life of dementia family caregivers. Combining daily diaries with periodic assessments of health and wellness we will test theory-based hypotheses to identify predictors of abuse and neglect both on a given day, as well as changes in patterns of abuse and neglect use over time. Findings from this study will serve as a contextual framework that can guide future intervention development to support high quality and safe dementia family caregiving.
