Perceptions of elder abuse and help-seeking patterns among African- American, Caucasian American, and Korean-American elderly women

A Moon and O Williams
School of Social Welfare, University of California, Los Angeles 90024.

Thirteen scenarios were used to measure and compare the perceptions of elder abuse and help-seeking behaviors of African-American, Caucasian American, and Korean-American elderly women. Significant group differences existed in their perceptions of elder abuse with regard to six scenarios, and the Korean-American women were substantially less likely to perceive a given situation as abusive than the other groups. The three groups also showed significant differences in their intended use of formal and informal sources of help in the case of elder abuse.
