23 Jun Center for Victim Research Webinar: The Evidence Hour: Preventing and Reducing Violence Against Older Adults
From 2:00 PM until 3:00 PM
Presented by the Center for Victim Research
Despite the prevalence of elder abuse, there has been relatively little progress in identifying proven strategies to prevent or end abuse among older adults. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will provide an overview of elder abuse and present findings from a recent systematic review of reviews related to interventions.
