Ihi Research undertook an initial scan of available literature for the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) to better understand the abuse of older people (AOP) within Aotearoa New Zealand, as well as factors associated with it. The following
questions guided the scan:
• What is the current state of evidence in relation to the abuse of older people (elder abuse) within Aotearoa New Zealand?
• What is known? What does literature cover, include, focus on, privilege, prioritise?
• What isn’t known? What is not covered, left out, silent, marginalised, underprivileged?
• In the context of Aotearoa New Zealand, what is known about:
• the drivers of harm for abuse and their relationship with prevention?
• universal protections against the abuse of older people?
• What areas or fields of research beyond literature focussing on AOP/elder abuse could provide further insights for the prevention of AOP?
• What recommendations emerge for further research? (From the Executive summary). Record #8724
