For each violence incident, items are scored based on severity of (1–6)ǂ Cutoff for IPV: Affirmative response to ≥1 item(s) |
- *
Cutoff for positive score here reflects widely accepted value; one included IPV test accuracy study72 used a cutoff value of ≥6.
- †
We found no widely agreed upon standard for what constitutes a positive test. In general, higher scores indicate higher risk of being abused, neglected, or exploited. The one included study in this review considered positive responses to questions 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 15 to indicate high risk of elder mistreatment.98
- ǂ
Scores are based on the following: 1=Threats of abuse including use of weapon; 2=Slapping, pushing; no injuries and/or lasting pain; 3=Punching, kicking, bruises, cuts, and/or continuing pain; 4=Beating up, severe contusions, burns, broken bones; 5=Head injury, internal injury, permanent injury; 6=Use of weapon; wound from weapon.
Abbreviation: IPV=intimate partner violence.
