Notes

Adult Protective Services

Caseload Analysis

KAREN I. FREDRIKSEN

Ballard Community Hospital Seattle, WA

Research on Adult Protective Services has rarely examined the full breadth of such services. This research examines Adult Protective Services client profiles (e.g., client's age, gender, physical and psychological problems, type of reported abuse, referral source, and relationship of the abused to the alleged abuser), case severity ratings, case substantiation rates, and case outcomes. Secondary data were analyzed and it was found that the majority of APS cases were not substantiated and resulted in no service. This article presents implications for Adult Protective Services.
