Piloting a detection tool to inquire about events that may occur in the daily lives of older adults living in long-term care: A mixed methods feasibility study (PEDLAR)
Summary and objectives
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of implementing our copyrighted Elder Abuse Suspicion Index – long-term care (EASI-ltc)©: the first comprehensive detection tool of its kind designed specifically to identify the mistreatment of seniors living in long-term care. This study will help us to identify both how to implement this elder mistreatment screening tool, and who to involve in its implementation.
