Description
Raphael Gaeta, Zach Gassoumis, and Peter Lovegrove analyzed in 2023 what predicts a client's return to adult protective services in the United States. These state and local programs serve older adults and adults with disabilities who face abuse, neglect, or exploitation. A return after a case closes is called recurrence, and it matters for planning care.
The team used a national reporting system, the first study of its kind to do so, covering more than a million episodes across many states. About one in five clients returned at least once. Factors such as age, type of harm, case outcome, and case length predicted return, with self-neglect raising the odds most. The authors note that a return is not always a bad sign.
