Description
Aisha Abubakar and five co-authors link scattered data on cognitive impairment and exploitation of adults in England. Exploitation is a major public health concern, and weak cognition may raise the risk of falling victim. National data, the authors argue, rarely let analysts test that link directly.
The team reviews safeguarding data collections and serious case reviews from 2017 to 2022. National datasets record support needs and abuse types but lack joint data that cross the two factors. Regional variation and blurred lines between abuse and exploitation add noise. Case reviews, though based on severe cases only, give stronger evidence of a link. The authors call for richer joint data collection.
