This study introduces a conceptually based, systematic evaluation process employing multivariate techniques to evaluate a multidisciplinary social work-lawyer intervention model (JASA-LEAP). Logistic regression analyses were used with a random sample of case records (n = 250) from three intervention sites. Client retention, program fidelity, and exposure to multidisciplinary services were significantly related to reduction in mistreatment risk at case closure. Female gender, married status, and living with perpetrator significantly predicted unfavorable outcomes. This study extends the elder mistreatment program evaluation literature beyond descriptive/bivariate evaluation strategies. Findings suggest that a multidisciplinary social work-lawyer elder mistreatment intervention model is a successful approach.
本研究引入了一种基于概念的系统评估过程，运用多变量技术来评估一种多学科社会工作 - 律师干预模式（JASA - LEAP）。对来自三个干预地点的250份案例记录随机样本进行了逻辑回归分析。结案时，客户留存率、项目保真度以及多学科服务的参与度与虐待风险降低显著相关。女性性别、婚姻状况以及与施虐者共同生活显著预示了不良结果。本研究将老年人虐待项目评估文献从描述性/双变量评估策略进行了拓展。研究结果表明，多学科社会工作 - 律师老年人虐待干预模式是一种成功的方法。
