Effectiveness of RISE as a Community-Based Stand-Alone Elder Abuse Intervention Model
Sponsor: RISE Collaborative
Summary
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn if the RISE intervention can improve the well being of older adults who are at risk of or experiencing elder abuse or self-neglect (EASN). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do older adults who go through the RISE intervention experience improvements in their well-being? * Are older adults who go through RISE satisfied with this program? Researchers will compare older adults who receive a one-time consultation and resource-sharing service to older adults who receive the multi-session RISE intervention to see if there are differences in their well-being. Participants will engage in the RISE intervention over several months by telephone or in person to work on goals that are designed to reduce the risk of elder abuse or self-neglect, and they will participate in telephone-based surveys at three different times.

RISE Model
RISE works with cases involving older adults who are at risk of (prevention) or experiencing (response intervention) EASN. The model operates at Relational, Individual, Social, and Environmental levels and, through its core modalities, the intervention seeks to Repair Harm (restorative approaches), Inspire Change (motivational interviewing), Support Connection (teaming), and Empower Choice (supported decision making). RISE intervenes with the individual older adult EASN victim and alleged harmer (when appropriate), their relationship, and strengthens their informal and formal social supports.
