Summary
This study tested whether a simple screening tool could help hospital staff identify older adults who are experiencing abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation. Researchers worked with 100 patients in a special geriatric unit, asking them three questions about mistreatment. The goal was to connect those at risk with extra care and support before they left the hospital, reducing missed opportunities for help.
