Factors used in the detection of elder financial abuse: A judgement and decision-making study of social workers and their managers

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Factors social workers use in practice to detect elder financial abuse are currently unknown. A critical incident technique was applied within a judgement analysis approach to elicit cue use. Only three factors were key to decision-making: who raises concern, the elder’s mental capacity and the nature of the financial anomaly occurring.
