Increasingly, states are convening summits to identify appropriate local responses to elder abuse. This first-ever nationwide research on state-level elder abuse summits examines what leads to their formation, what they accomplish, and what factors contribute to their success. Study results suggest that two-fifths of the states have held summits, four-fifths of which have been since 2000. Typically the summits were convened by the state department of human services or aging, involved 25-50 participants, and lasted less than 2 years. Nearly 50% of study respondents felt that summit goals had been met, and 60% stated that recommendations were implemented, usually because of committed participants, involvement of the right people, or strong advocacy. State summits can be effective means for galvanizing collective action to address elder abuse as a complex social problem.
越来越多的州召开峰会，以确定针对虐待老年人问题的适当的地方对策。这项关于州一级虐待老年人问题峰会的首次全国性研究，探讨了导致这些峰会召开的原因、峰会所取得的成就，以及哪些因素促成了峰会的成功。研究结果表明，五分之二的州已经召开了峰会，其中五分之四的峰会是在 2000 年以后召开的。这些峰会通常由州人类服务部或老龄部召集，有 25 至 50 名与会者参加，会期不到 2 年。近 50%的受访者认为峰会目标已经实现，60%的受访者表示已经实施了建议，这通常是因为与会者的承诺、相关人员的参与或强有力的宣传。州级峰会可以成为一种有效的手段，以激发集体行动，来解决虐待老年人这一复杂的社会问题。
