Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the use of the Detection of Elder Mistreatment Through Emergency Care Technicians-Revised for Primary Care (DETECT-RPC) screening tool increases the average reporting of elder mistreatment (EM) by homebased primary care (HBPC) clinicians.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Detection of Elder mistreatment Through Emergency Care Technicians-Revised for Primary Care (DETECT-RPC) screening tool

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

DETECT is an elder mistreatment (EM) screening tool created for medics in the Fort Worth Texas area to use when responding to the homes of older adults, enabling them to screen for signs of elder mistreatment. DETECT-RPC is the adapted version of this tool designed specifically for use by home-based primary care (HBPC) clinicians.

The DETECT-RPC tool is designed to:

1. Be brief and easy to use.
2. Focus on the clinician's direct observations of the older adult and their physical and social environment.
3. Provide clear guidance on reporting suspected EM.
4. Integrate seamlessly into existing procedures and medical charting systems.
