New manuscript from our @RutgersIFH team in @JAMAInternalMed looking at repeated abuse experiences across the entire lifespan ⬇️https://t.co/WtkZhtI9Bq

[Ken Covinsky @geri_doc]

Those abused as children more likely to suffer intimate partner violence and elder abuse. Abuse leaves scars and pain across the full life course. A world wide problem impacting all ethnic groups. #geriatrics @jamainternalmed https://t.co/z73gh9qhUM

[@heystephb on the other socials (Steph Bergren 瑋瑜) @HeyStephB]

Also, given this is #AAPIHM, it's important to highlight that this study uses data from @ThePINEStudy and shows that abuse and mistreatment is common among US Chinese

[@heystephb on the other socials (Steph Bergren 瑋瑜) @HeyStephB]

While these findings point toward a failure in stopping cycles of violence, this also provides evidence that there are ample opportunities for care providers to screen and intervene to prevent elder abuse

[The PINE Study @ThePineStudy]

Intimate partner violence is a form of #ElderAbuse. But marital status isn't necessarily associated with it for older Chinese Americans, our latest research shows: https://t.co/QOTe7v1lx7

Inter-generational family conflicts may pose a higher risk for elder abuse in later life.

[Rutgers Institute for Health @rutgersifh]

New @JAMAInternalMed article from IFH Director @XinQiDong suggest Healthcare and social service professionals should be more aware of the possibility of #elderabuse for patients with know experiences of violence over their lifespan https://t.co/Pf2gT18X3Y
