Shifting the focus in elder mistreatment research and practice to individual sub-types may provide improved approaches to screening and ultimately to intervention. In a recently published article, we try to demonstrate this – using the example of caregiver neglect, the subtype associated with highest mortality. We describe a process to develop caregiver neglect screening and intervention programs and to measure their effectiveness and impact in a manuscript recently published in The Gerontologist (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39693260/).
