Abstract

As federal agencies support the development of data systems for adult protective services (APS), researchers and practitioners are increasingly using administrative data to study types of adult maltreatment, including self-neglect, and the systems that respond to them. To date, however, APS has worked with little guidance about how best to use these data. This situation has contributed to inconsistent findings and uneven quality of research. Based on the authors' experience in multiple states and using examples from research and practice, this paper reviews practical considerations related to organizing and analyzing APS administrative data. We address concerns related to time-limited, erroneous, and missing data, as well as defining metrics and accounting for the multilevel structure of data with repeated observations. Reviewing these methodological details can help APS practitioners strengthen quality assurance processes and improve research in this important area.

使用来自成人保护服务的管理数据:机会和考虑。
随着联邦机构支持成人保护服务(APS)数据系统的发展,研究人员和从业人员越来越多地使用行政数据来研究成人虐待的类型,包括自我忽视,以及对它们做出反应的系统。然而,到目前为止,APS在如何最好地利用这些数据方面几乎没有指导。这种情况导致研究结果不一致,研究质量参差不齐。根据作者在多个州的经验,并使用研究和实践中的例子,本文回顾了与组织和分析APS行政数据有关的实际考虑。我们解决了与时间限制、错误和缺失数据相关的问题,以及定义指标和对重复观察数据的多层次结构的解释。回顾这些方法细节可以帮助APS从业者加强质量保证过程并改进这一重要领域的研究。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect is the peer-reviewed quarterly journal that explores the advances in research, policy and practice, and clinical and ethical issues surrounding the abuse and neglect of older people. This unique forum provides state-of-the-art research and practice that is both international and multidisciplinary in scope. The journal"s broad, comprehensive approach is only one of its strengths—it presents training issues, research findings, case studies, practice and policy issues, book and media reviews, commentary, and historical background on a wide range of topics. Readers get tools and techniques needed for better detecting and responding to actual or potential elder abuse and neglect.
