    Understanding Elder AbuseFact Sheet 2016Elder abuse is an intentional act or
    failure to act that causes or creates a risk of harm to an older adult. An
    older adult is someone age 60 or older. The abuse occurs at the hands of a
    caregiver or a person the elder trusts. Six frequently recognized types of
    elder abuse include:•Physical—This occurs when an elder experiencesillness,
    pain, or injury as a result of the intentional useof physical force and
    includes acts such as hitting,kicking, pushing, slapping, and
    burning.•Sexual—This involves forced or unwanted sexualinteraction of any
    kind with an older adult. This mayinclude unwanted sexual contact or
    penetration ornon-contact acts such as sexual harassment.•Emotional or
    Psychological—This refers to verbal ornonverbal behaviors that that inflict
    anguish, mentalpain, fear, or distress on an older adult. Examplesinclude
    name calling, humiliating, destroying property,or not letting the older
    adult see friends and family.•Neglect—This is the failure to meet an older
    adult’sbasic needs. These needs include food, water, shelter,clothing,
    hygiene, and essential medical care.•Financial—This is illegally or
    improperly using anelder’s money, benefits, belongings, property, or
    assetsfor the benefit of someone other than the older adult.Examples include
    taking money from an older adult’saccount without proper authority,
    unauthorized creditcard use, and changing a will without permission.Why is
    elder abuse a public health problem?Elder abuse is a serious problem in the
    United States. There is a lack of data, but past research found that: •In
    2008, one in 10 elders reported emotional, physical,or sexual abuse or
    potential neglect in the past year.1 Many cases are not reported because
    elders are afraid or unable to tell police, friends, or family about the
    violence. Victims often have to decide whether to tell someone they are
    being hurt or continue being abused by someone they depend upon or care for
    deeply.How does elder abuse affect health?Elder abuse can have several
    physical and emotional effects on an older adult. Many victims suffer
    physical injuries. Some are minor, like cuts, scratches, bruises, and welts.
    Others are more serious and can cause lasting disabilities. These include
    head injuries, broken bones, constant physical pain, and soreness. Physical
    injuries can also lead to premature death and make existing health problems
    worse.2, 3, 4, 5Elder abuse can have emotional effects as well. Victims are
    often fearful and anxious. They may have problems with trust and be wary
    around others.2Who is at risk for perpetratingelder abuse?Several factors
    can increase the risk that someone will hurt an older adult. However, having
    these risk factors does not always mean violence will occur. Some of the
    risk factors for hurting an older adult include:•Using drugs or alcohol,
    especially drinking heavily•High levels of stress and low or ineffective
    copingresources•Lack of social support•High emotional or financial
    dependence on theolder adult•Lack of training in taking care of older
    adult•DepressionNational Center for Injury Prevention and Control Division

    Understanding Elder AbuseHow can we prevent elder abuse?The goal is to stop
    elder abuse before it starts. While not much research has been done, there
    are several important things we can do to prevent it:• Listen to older
    adults and their caregivers to understand their challenges and provide
    support.• Report abuse or suspected abuse to Adult Protective Services.•
    Educate oneself and others about how to recognize and report elder abuse. •
    Learn how the signs of elder abuse differ from the normal aging
    process.•Check in often on older adults who may have few friends and family
    members.• Provide over-burdened caregivers with emotional and instrumental
    supports such as help from friends, family, or local relief care groups;
    adult day care programs; counselling; or outlets intended to promote
    emotional well-being.•Where prudent and possible involve more people than
    just family, formal caregivers, and guardians in health care or financial
    matters.• Encourage and assist persons (either caregivers or older adults)
    having problems with drug or alcohol abuse in getting help.How does CDC
    approach elder abuse?CDC uses a 4-step approach to address public health
    problems like elder abuse.Step 1: Define the problemBefore we can prevent
    elder abuse, we need to know how big the problem is, where it is, and whom
    it affects. CDC learns about a problem by gathering and studying data. These
    data are critical because they help decision makers send resources where
    they are needed most.Step 2: Identify risk and protective factorsIt is not
    enough to know that elder abuse is affecting a certain group in a certain
    area. We also need to know why abuse occurs. CDC conducts and supports
    research to answer this question. We can then develop programs to reduce or
    get rid of risk factors and increase protective factors. Step 3: Develop and
    test prevention strategiesUsing information gathered in research, CDC
    develops and evaluates strategies to prevent violence.Step 4: Ensure
    widespread adoptionIn this final step, CDC shares the best prevention
    strategies. CDC may also provide funding or technical help so communities
    can adopt these strategies. Where can I learn more?Elder Abuse Helplines and
