To help remedy these problems and promote public health surveillance of EA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and a diverse group of EA experts collaboratively produced version 1.0 of uniform definitions and recommended core data elements for possible use in standardizing the collection of EA data locally and nationally. Proposed uniform definitions were developed for the following phenomena (and for associated terms or elements that could be sources of confusion or disagreement): Elder Abuse; Involved Parties; Physical Abuse; Sexual Abuse; Emotional/Psychological Abuse; Neglect; Financial Abuse/Exploitation; Other Related Phenomena; Elder Abuse Circumstances or Consequences (associated concepts). (From the Executive summary). Record #6541 UR - https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/37909 ER -
