Potential neglect. The overall prevalence of
potential neglect is given in Table 1. Potential
neglect over the past year was reported by
approximately 5.9% of respondents. (Bivariate
analyses are given in Table E, available as an
online supplement.) Multivariate analyses (Table
2) showed that risk of potential neglect was
predicted by minority racial status, low income,
poor health, and low social support.
Financial. We analyzed episodes of financial
mistreatment perpetrated by family and found
a prevalence of 5.2% (Table 1). (Bivariate
analyses of correlates for family-perpetrated
financial mistreatment are given in Table F,
available as an online supplement.) The multivariate
model (Table 2) showed that only
nonuse of social services and required assistance
with daily activities remained uniquely
associated with increased likelihood of mistreatment.
